Our Big Idea[edit]
The function of every web application system is to accept data, process data and output information. Effective design of interdependent components results in useful function.

What are we going to learn today?[edit]Hello Class!
By the end of class you should say:
<?php
// this is where we define an array:
$classes=["fighter","cleric","magic user","barbarian","monk"];
echo "<hr>";
// this is how we "dump" an array to see it (blech, ugly)
var_dump($classes);
echo "<hr>";
// this is how we access one element in an array
echo $classes[2];
echo "<hr>";
// this is how we count elements in an array
echo count($classes);
echo "<hr>";
// this is how we ADD something to an array
$classes[] = "Archer";
var_dump($classes);
echo "<hr>";
// this is how we delete an item from an array
unset($classes[1]);
var_dump($classes);
echo "<hr>";
// loop through an array. We ITERATE through an array
foreach ($classes as $i) {
echo "I like $i <br>";
# echo "Please type a name for a $i : <input type=\"text\">";
}
echo "<hr>";
// let's see if there is a specific element in our array:
$searchTerm = "monk";
if(in_array($searchTerm,$classes)){
echo "there is a monk in the array";
} else {
echo "there is not a monk in the array";
}
echo "<hr>";
// let's find the index of something we want to search for:
$indexOfSearchTerm = array_search($searchTerm,$classes);
echo "You are searching for $searchTerm. It looks like this element has been found at index $indexOfSearchTerm.";
echo "<hr>";
// let's randomly select only one INDEX from our array
$randomlySelectedClass = array_rand($classes,1);
echo "We have randomly selected an index from our array. This will most likely change every time you refresh the page. It is possible the same index will be
chosen again. The random index chosen is: $randomlySelectedClass";
echo "<hr>";
// let's echo the class we just chose from our array of classes:
echo "If we access the element at index $randomlySelectedClass, we find the element $classes[$randomlySelectedClass].
This will most likely change every time you refresh the page. It is possible the same index will be chosen again.";

What is our homework?[edit]
|
How am I being assessed today?[edit]I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice. |
