How php language execute?

php is a interpretend language

An interpreted language is a programming language that executes instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into machine code on the fly as required. Compiled language programs, on the other hand, must explicitly be entirely translated ("compiled") into a sequence of machine language instructions before they can be executed.

What is the difference between strstr() and stristr()?

strstr -- Find first occurrence of a string and get the string from that character

strstr() example

<?php
$mail = 'pass@examplem.com';
$domain = strstr($mail, '@');
echo $domain; // prints @examplem.com
?>

stristr -- Case-insensitive strstr()

stristr() example

<?php
$email = 'USER@EXAMPLE.com';
echo stristr($email, 'e');
// outputs ER@EXAMPLE.

What are the differences between split, implode and explode?

split() and explode() are aliases for one-another. implode() and join() are
aliases for each other. i believe the name was originally explode(), but
split() was chosen later to suit perl programmers.

Different between implode and explode in php?

Implode

Join array elements with a string


Example

implode() example

<?php

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);

echo $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone

// Empty string when using an empty array:
var_dump(implode('hello', array())); // string(0) ""

?>

EXPLODE:

split string as array


<?php
// Example 1
$pizza  = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2

// Example 2
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user, $pass, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $home, $shell) = explode(":", $data);
echo $user; // foo
echo $pass; // *

?>

What is PEAR?

 PEAR is short for "PHP Extension and Application Repository" and is pronounced just like the fruit. The purpose of PEAR is to provide:

    A structured library of open-source code for PHP users
    A system for code distribution and package maintenance
    A standard style for code written in PHP, specified here
    The PHP Extension Community Library (PECL), see more below
    A web site, mailing lists and download mirrors to support the PHP/PEAR community

PEAR is a community-driven project governed by its developers. PEAR's governing bodies are subdivided into the PEAR Group, Collectives, and a President. PEAR's constitution (adopted in March 2007) defining these groups is documented here. The PEAR project was founded in 1999 by Stig S. Bakken and quite a lot of people have joined the project.
PEAR Mission Statement

PEAR's mission is to provide reusable components, lead innovation in PHP, provide best practices for PHP development and educate developers.
Structured Libraries and Applications of PHP Code

The code in PEAR is partitioned in "packages". Each package is a separate project with its own development team, version number, release cycle, documentation and a defined relation to other packages (including dependencies). Packages are distributed as gzipped tar files with a description file inside, and installed on your local system using the PEAR installer.

Packages may relate to each other through explicit dependencies, but there is no automatic dependency relationship between packages based on the package name. For example, "HTTP_Post" is by default independent of "HTTP". Dependencies between packages with similar names is not forbidden, and does happen. As an example,the "DB_DataObject" package depends on the "DB" package.

A style guide, the PEAR Coding Standards (short PCS), exists to ease collaboration between PEAR developers, to enforce quality, and to enforce a consistent visual appearance of all source code distributed as a PEAR package.
Code Distribution and Package Maintenance

All PEAR packages are registered in and downloaded from a central server at pear.php.net. Other third-party servers called "channels" also distribute packages that can be installed by the PEAR Installer, see the Channels list for more information. pear.php.net does not endorse the packages from these channels, and only provides support for packages distributed from pear.php.net.

Pear.php.net provides both a human-friendly (HTML) and machine-friendly (currently REST) interface to the packages available from pear.php.net. All communication occurs over the HTTP protocol. Other functions the pear.php.net site provides are:

    user account management (independent of the SVN server)
    package management
    release management

Packages are distributed as a gzipped tar file with an XML description file inside. The description file (package.xml) contains some information about the package, a list of files and their roles, and dependencies.
The PHP Extension Community Library (PECL)

PECL

PECL (pronounced "pickle") is a separate project that distributes PHP extensions (compiled code written in C, such as the PDO extension). PECL extensions are also distributed as packages and can be installed using the PEAR installer with the pecl command.

More information and all PECL packages can now be found on the PECL homepage.
