What are the Basic Data Types in PHP ?

In PHP, Basic Data Types include integers for whole numbers, floats for decimal values, strings for textual data, booleans representing true or false, arrays for storing multiple values, objects for user-defined data structures, and null for indicating the absence of a value. Understanding these data types is essential for effective data handling and manipulation in PHP scripts

Integer

PHP Integer represents whole numbers without decimal points.

Example: 
$num = 10; 

Float (Floating Point Number or Double)

Represents numbers with a fractional component.

$floatnum = 3.14;  

String

Represents sequences of characters, enclosed within single (”) or double (“”) quotes.

$name = "John Doe";

Boolean

Represents a logical value, either true or false.

$is_active = true;

Array

Represents a collection of elements, each identified by a key.

$fruits = array("apple", "banana", "orange");

Object

Represents instances of user-defined classes, encapsulating data and functionality.

Example: 
$objectVariable = new stdClass();

Null

Represents a variable with no value assigned.

$variable = null;
