Quick Reference
The PHP finally keyword is used in try…finally and try…catch…finally structures to run a block of code whether or not an exception occurred.
<?php
echo 'Starting process...';
try {
// select randomly between 0 and 1, throw an exception if 1 is selected
$random = rand(0, 1);
if($random == 1) {
throw new Exception('Exception');
}
}
finally {
echo 'Process completed';
}
?>PHP Notes:
- When using PHP, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
- Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
