One of the useful features of PHP is strings. You can use them to print a long text item that you may be posting more than once. It doesn't have to be long, though. Here is an example.

<?php

$motto = "Free Web Hosting, No Ads.";
$site = "Trap17";

?>

That bit of coding could be used in a piece of text such as:

QUOTE

<?php echo "Welcome to $site. "; ?>

You can also use strings to make database functions shorter or easier to read. I'll get into that later.

I hope this tutorial was helpful to you guys.

Strings can also be created as arrays like this

CODE

<?php

$information[name] = array (
 "ivan" => "ivanovich",
 "marko" => "markovich",
 "petar" => "petrovich"
 );

foreach ($information[name] as $key_name => $key_surname) {

 echo 'Name: '.$key_name.' Surname: '.$key_surname.' ';

}

?>
