String In PHP: In Brief

# Single Quote vs Double Quote:
PHP will not parse anything when a string is in a single quote.

$name = "Nahid";
$string01 = 'my name is $name \n';
echo $string01;
echo "\n";
$string02 = "my name is $name \nHello !";
echo $string02;

#Heredoc PHP:
Heredoc PHP syntax is a way to write large bloc of text inside PHP

/**
 * Heredoc PHP syntax is a way to write large bloc of text inside PHP
 */
$aboutMe = <<<EOD
I am Nahid Mahamud
I am a full-stack Web Developer
I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh

//Hredoc also parse variables
$myName = "Nahid Mahamud";
$myJob = "full-stack Web Developer";

I am {$myName}
I am a {$myJob}

#Now Doc:

/**
 * NOW DOC -> WORKS LIKE SINGLE QUOTE STRING
 * WILL NOT PARSE VARIABLES AND STRING LITERAL
 */

#ASCI Value:

 * will print ASCI value from A - Z
 */

#Reverse String In PHP:

/**
  * REVERSE STRING
  */

 for( $i = $length; $i >= 0; $i-- ){
    echo $greetings[$i];

#String Token In PHP:

/**
* STRING TOKENIZATION
* JOIN & IMPLODES -> DO THE SAME THING
*/

#Search Inside String:

/**
* SEARCH SOMETHING INSIDE A STRING
* strpos is case sensetive
* stripos is -> case insensetive
* Strripos will do reverse search
*/
$quote = "Jack of all trades, master of none";
$quote2 = "Jack of all Trades, master of none";

#Search & Replace:

* SEARCH INSIDE STRING & REPLACE
*/

#String Trimming:

/**
* STRING TRIMMING
* trim, ltrim, rtrim
* will remove nonredable charchaters
* ltrim -> will trim left sided characters
* ttrim -> will trim right sided characters
*/

#Word Wrap In PHP:
