To force MySQL LIKE to be case sensitive with the help of LIKE BINARY, the following is the syntax −select yourColumnName like binary 'anyStringValue' from yourTableName;To understand the above concept, let us create a table. The following is the query to create a table −mysql> create table LikeBinaryDemo −> ( −> Name varchar(200) −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)Now you can insert records with small letters to force the MySQL LIKE to be case sensitive −mysql> insert into LikeBinaryDemo values('john'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display the records in the table. The query ... Read More

In this article, we will learn about pass by value and pass by reference in PHP. Now, let’s understand these two concepts in detail.In PHP generally, we followed to pass the arguments to the function with passed by value approach. We are following this practice because if the value of the argument within the function is changed, it does not get changed outside of the function.In some cases we may need to modify function arguments, So to allow a function to modify its arguments, they must be passed by reference.Let's begin with passed by reference. As it is already mentioned we ... Read More
Definition and UsageThe expm1() function returns exp(number) - 1, computed in a way that is accurate even when the value of number is close to zero, a case where 'exp (number) - 1' would be inaccurate due to subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.expm1(x) = exp(x) - 1This function returns a float value .Syntaxexpm1 ( float $arg ) : floatParametersSr.NoParameter & Description1argA floating point number whose expm1 is to be calculated.Return ValuesPHP expm1() function returns a floating point value.PHP VersionThis function is available in PHP versions 4.x, PHP 5.x as well as PHP 7.x.Example Live DemoFollowing example calculates expm1(2) ...
