A global variable can be accessed in any part of the program. However, in order to be modified, a global variable must be explicitly declared to be global in the function in which it is to be modified. This is accomplished, conveniently enough, by placing the keyword GLOBAL in front of the variable that should be recognized as global.ExampleThe code is as follows wherein we can see how to declare a global variable in PHP− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Value = 2ExampleLet us now see another example− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−5

To merge two arrays keeping original keys in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−array(8) {    ["p"]=> string(3) "150"    ["q"]=> string(3) "100"    ["r"]=> string(3) "120"    ["s"]=> string(3) "110"    ["t"]=> string(3) "115"    ["u"]=> string(3) "103"    ["v"]=> string(3) "105"    ["w"]=> string(3) "125" }ExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−array(1) {    ["a"]=>    string(5) "Jacob" }

PHP supports the error control operator i.e. the at sign (@). When @ is prepended to an expression, any error messages that might be generated by that expression gets ignored.To use @ symbol in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live Demo

To convert an object to associative array in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Before conversion: object(department)#1 (2) {    ["deptname"]=>    string(9) "Marketing"    ["deptzone"]=>    string(5) "South" } After conversion: array(2) {    ["deptname"]=>    string(9) "Marketing"    ["deptzone"]=>    string(5) "South" }ExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Before conversion: object(department)#1 (2) {    ["deptname"]=>    string(9) "Marketing"    ["deptzone"]=>    string(5) "South" } After conversion: array(2) {    ["deptname"]=>    string(9) "Marketing"    ["deptzone"]=>    string(5) "South" }

To change date format in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Displaying date... Date = 2019-11-11 05:25 PM Displaying updated date...  2019-12-01 17:25ExampleLet us now see another example− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Displaying date... 2019/11/11 00:00:00

To add an item at the beginning of the associative array, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Initial Array... Array(    [p] => 150    [q] => 100    [r] => 120    [s] => 110    [t] => 115    [u] => 103    [v] => 105    [w] => 125 ) Updated Array... Array (    [0] => 100    [p] => 150    [q] => 100    [r] => 120    [s] => 110    [t] => 115    [u] => 103    [v] => 105    [w] => 125 )ExampleLet us now see another example− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Initial Array... Array(    [0] => Ryan    [1] => Kevin    [2] => Jack ) Updated Array... Array(    [0] => Katie    [1] => Ryan    [2] => Kevin    [3] => Jack )

In the Double not operator (!!), the first not i.e. ! is used to negate a value, whereas the second not i.e.! again negates. To implement Double not operator in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Value = 0.1 Double Negated Value = 1ExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−String = 100.56 Number (Converted from String) = 100.56 Double Negated Value = 1

To convert a string into a number, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Number (Converted from String) = 150ExampleLet us now see another example− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−String = 100.56 Number (Converted from String) = 100.56

To convert number to month name in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Displaying date... Date = 2019-11-11 Month = November Displaying updated date... 2019-12-01ExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output −Displaying date... Date = 2019-11-11 Month = November Displaying updated date... 2019-12-01 Month = December

To create a comma-separated list from an array in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Array with leading and trailing whitespaces... Value = John Value = Jacob Value = Tom Value = Tim Comma separated list...    John , Jacob , Tom , Tim Updated Array... Value = John Value = Jacob Value = Tom Value = TimExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Comma separated list... 100, 200, 300, 400, 500
