PHP Basic Help

Question

Write a small program (Code) in PHP language which declares a variable that stores some amount and calculate the “Zakat” on this amount.

Note: The “Zakat” can be calculated through formula “(Amount * 2.5)/100”

Answer 1

How do you declare a variable and store something in it?

 

$amount = 100;

 

Now you need to perform a calculation on this initial amount. In PHP you can use variables in your calculations and store those values in other variables. Here I store the calculation in a variable called $zakat.

 

$zakat = ($amount * 2.5) / 100;

 

That's all there is to it. 

 

If you are learning from a book or online tutorial, I recommend reading the text first to get an idea of how variables work.
