• Give the function a name that reflects what the function does

A variable is a storage area holding a number or text. The problem is, a variable will hold only one value.
An array is a special variable, which can store multiple values in one single variable.
In PHP, there are three kind of arrays:
• Numeric array - An array with a numeric index
• Associative array - An array where each ID key is associated with a value
• Multidimensional array - An array containing one or more arrays |

Very often when you write code, you want to perform different actions for different decisions.
You can use conditional statements in your code to do this.
In PHP we have the following conditional statements:
- if statement - use this statement to execute some code only if a specified condition is true
- if...else statement - use this statement to execute some code if a condition is true and another code if the condition is false
- if...elseif....else statement - use this statement to select one of several blocks of code to be executed
- switch statement - use this statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed
