Summary

Congratulations! You are now acquainted with the basics of PHP. By now you should be able see the power PHP offers you. In this chapter we discussed conditional statements that allow the code you write to make decisions based on specified conditions. Then we looked at loops that execute a block of code until a condition specified return false or until they run out elements. Next we discussed how to call code multiple times in a program by putting them in a function, and also how to pass them information and have them return values to us. Finally, we looked into numeric and associative arrays. We created them and returned values by either accessing them directly or looping through them.

Now you are ready to take a breather from PHP and make another cup of coffee. This only gets more interesting!
