We can find an element by attributes with Selenium webdriver. There are multiple ways to do this. We can use the locators like css and xpath that use attributes and its value to identify an element.For css selector, theexpression to be used is tagname[attribute='value']. There are two types of xpath – absolute and relative. The xpath expression to be used is //tagname[@attribute='value'], the tagname in the expression is optional. If omitted, the xpath expression should be //*[@attribute='value'].Let us consider an element with input tagname. It will be identified with xpath locator with id attribute (//input[@id='txtSearchText']).Examplefrom selenium import webdriver driver = ... Read More
IntroductionIt is possible to break binding between the content and variable by using unset() function. The unset() function doesn't destroy the content but only decouples variable from it.Example Live DemoOutputAfter unsetting, $b can be used as normal vaiablebefore unsetting : 10 10 after unsetting : 10 20Reference can also be removed by assigning variable to NULLExample Live DemoOutputResult of above script is as followsx and y are references 100 x: 200 y:
IntroductionMany syntax constructs in PHP are implemented via referencing mechanisms. If reference to a global variable is unset in a function, the same variable in global namespace is not removed.Example Live DemoOutputGlobal $va1 is intact.Hello World, Hello World Hello PHP, Hello PHP Hello PHPdebug_zval_dump() function can be used if a variable has references to other variables
IntroductionIn PHP, a function can also be made to return a reference. This is useful to find to which variable a reference should be bound. To define a function which returns reference, prefix its name by & sign.ExampleIn following example, myfunction() is defined to return by reference. It contains a static variable whose reference is returned and assigned to a global variable. Value of local static variable will also change its reference ouside is assigned with different value.Example Live DemoOutputThis example gives following outputx Inside function: 10 returned by reference: 10 x Inside function: 20method returning referenceA class can also ...

IntroductionIn PHP, arguments to a function can be passed by value or passed by reference. By default, values of actual arguments are passed by value to formal arguments which become local variables inside the function. Hence, modification to these variables doesn't change value of actual argument variable.When arguments are passed by reference, change in value of formal argument is reflected in actual argument variable because the former is a reference to latter. Thus pass by reference mechanism helps in indirectly manipulating data in global space. It also helps in overcoming the fact that a function can return only one variable.Pass ... Read More
IntroductionIn PHP, References enable accessing the same variable content by different names. They are not like pointers in C/C++ as it is not possible to perform arithmetic oprations using them. In C/C++, they are actual memory addresses. In PHP in contrast, they are symbol table aliases. In PHP, variable name and variable content are different, so the same content can have different names. A reference variable is created by prefixing & sign to original variable. Hence $b=&$a will mean that $b is a referewnce variable of $a.Assign By ReferenceIn following example, two variables refer to same valueExample Live DemoOutputChange in value ... Read More
We can click on Google search with Selenium webdriver. First of all we need to identify the search edit box with help of any of the locators like id, class, name, xpath or css.Then we will input some text with the sendKeys() method. Next we have to identify the search button with help of any of the locators like id, class, name, xpath or css and finally apply click() method on it or directly apply submit() method. We will wait for the search results to appear with presenceOfElementLocatedexpected condition.We need to import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions and import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait to incorporate expected conditions ...

Introduction$_SERVER is a superglobal that holds information regarding HTTP headers, path and script location etc. All the server and execution environment related information is available in this associative array. Most of the entries in this array are populated by web server.PHP versions prior to 5.4.0 contained $HTTP_SERVER_VARS contained same information but has now been removed. Following are some prominent members of this arrayPHP_SELF − stores filename of currently executing script. For example, a script in test folder of document root of a local server returns its path as follows −ExampleThis results in following output in browser with http://localhost/test/testscript.php URL/test/testscript.phpSERVER_ADDR − This ...

We can erase the contents from text boxes with Selenium webdriver. This is done with the clear() method. This method clears the edit box and also makes the field enabled.First of all we need to identify the element with help of any of the locators like id, class, name, xpath or css and then apply sendKeys() method to type some text inside it. Next we shall apply the clear() method on it. To check if the edit box got cleared, we shall use getAttribute() method and pass value parameter as an argument to the method. We shall get blank value ... Read More
We can get text from a webelement with Selenium webdriver. The getText() methods obtains the innerText of an element. It fetches the text of an element which is visible along with its sub elements. It ignores the trailing and leading spaces.First of all we need to identify the element with help of any of the locators like id, class, name, xpath or css and then apply getText() method on it to get the text content of the element.Let us get the text of the element About Careers at Tutorials on the page−Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import ...
