Description

1 
 | 
  
Define() 
 | 
  
It is used to
  define a named constant at runtime. 
Syntax:  
define(string $name,$value[,bool
  $case_insensetive=false]); 
If it sets to
  true, the constant will be defined case insensitive. The default behavior is
  case sensitive. 
It returns TRUE
  on success or FALSE on failure. 
Example:  
<?php 
define(“CONSTANT”,”Hello World.”); 
echo CONSTANT;    //output’s
  “Hello World” 
echo Constant; 
  //output’s “Constant” and issue a notice. 
define(“GREETING”,”Hello you.”,true); 
echo Greeting;           //output’s
  “Hello you”. 
?>

Constant() 
 | 
  
It returns the
  value of the constant indicated by name. Constant() is useful if you need to
  retrieve the value of a constant, but do not know its name. 
·       
  It
  is stored in a variable or returned by a function. 
·       
  This
  function works also with class constant. 
·       
  Syntax:
  constant(string $name); 
·       
  It
  returns the value of the constant or NULL if 
  the constant is not defined. 
Example 
<?php 
define(“MAXSIZE”,100); 
echo constant(“MAXSIZE”); 
?>

include() 
 | 
  
The include()
  statement includes and evaluates the specified file. 
ð        
  The
  code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include
  occurs 
ð        
  Any
  variable available at that line in the calling file will be available within
  the called file, from that point forward. 
ð        
  Syntax:
  include(string ‘file-name’); 
ð        
  The
  include function requires two file to execute. 
Example 
File1.php 
<?php 
          $color=’green’; 
         $fruit=’apple’; 
?> 
File2.php 
<?php 
          include(“file1.php”); 
          echo “A $color $fruit”; 
?>

require() 
 | 
  
Require() is
  identical to include() except upon failure it will produce a fatal error. 
In other words ,
  it will halt the script whereas include() only emits a warning which allows
  the script to continue. 
 | 
 
5 
 | 
  
header() 
 | 
  
header is used
  to send a raw http header. 
remember that
  header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal
  HTML tags, blank lines in a file. 
It is a very
  common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions or another
  file access function and have spaces or empty lines that are output before
  header is called. 
Syntax:  
header(string
  $string[,int $http_response_code]); 
Example  
<?php 
            header(‘URL’);   
?> 
 | 
 
6 
 | 
  
die()  or exit () 
 | 
  
The exit() function in PHP is an inbuilt function which is used to output a message and terminate the current script. 
The exit() function only terminates the execution of the script. The shutdown functions and object destructors will always be executed even if exit() function is called. The exit() function is an alias of the die() function. 
Syntax 
die(parameter)  or exit (Parameter)
