To generate random string using PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Displaying random string... 1c856ExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Displaying random string... a3541 Displaying another random string... 335b83d9e9

To access an associative array by integer index in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Array key and value... key: p, value: 150 key: q, value: 100 key: r, value: 120 key: s, value: 110ExampleLet us now see another example− Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Array key and value... key: p, value: 150 key: q, value: 100 key: r, value: 120 key: s, value: 110 Updated Array key and value...  key: p, value: 150 key: q, value: 100 key: r, value: 20 key: s, value: 10

To check whether an array is empty, the code is as follows in PHP−Example Live Demo

To create a copy of an object in PHP, the code is as follows−Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−JackKevin TomRyanExampleLet us now see another example − Live DemoOutputThis will produce the following output−Demo Object(    [deptname] => Finance    [deptzone] => West ) Demo Object(    [deptname] => Finance    [deptzone] => West )

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 )
