In this PHP tutorial we will learn about Comparison Operators.

2
00:00:05 --> 00:00:14
Comparison Operators can compare 2 values, 2 strings or 2 variables that can contain any of them and will act upon that.

3
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
For this I am going to use an IF statement.

4
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
Lets start by creating the IF statement structure.

5
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
My condition is if 1==1.

6
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
echo.

7
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
True.

8
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
and then else.

9
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
echo.

10
00:00:44 --> 00:00:50
False. Remember I don't need these brackets so I'm going to take them out.

11
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
Lets indent it

12
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
Never mind the indenting.

13
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
This is the first comparison operator.

14
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
Two = to means comparison operator.  We've seen this in the IF statement before.

15
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
1 does equal to 1 so this will echo True. Lets try it.

16
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
We got True.

17
00:01:15 --> 00:01:26
Let me change this.  IF 1 is greater than 1 then lets see what result we get.

18
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
False, because 1 is equal to 1 and not greater than 1.

19
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
Now lets change this to 1 greater than or equal to 1

20
00:01:37 --> 00:01:44
IF 1 greater than or equal to 1, echo True else echo False.

21
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
Here we should get True.

22
00:01:48 --> 00:01:54
You can also do the same with less than or equal to. So for example less than

23
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
would be False, less than or equal to would be True.

24
00:02:01 --> 00:02:10
We can also say not equal.  So if 1 is not equal to 1 echo True

25
00:02:11 --> 00:02:19
Refresh.  We'll get False here because 1 is equal to 1. Now lets say if 1 isn't equal to 2

26
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
We get True because 1 is not equal to 2

27
00:02:25 --> 00:02:32
These are the basic Comparison Operators that you will be using for our tutorials

28
00:02:33 --> 00:02:39
Expand on this - practice them - and you'll understand them better

29
00:02:40 --> 00:02:47
You can also compare variables using these operators.  So for example num1 = 1

30
00:02:48 --> 00:03:00
num2 = 2.   All we now do is replace these values and there we go

31
00:03:01 --> 00:03:10
This will produce exactly the same result as we've got earlier -  which is True.   Now all we need to do is change these values

32
00:03:11 --> 00:03:23
Please note this will now read as num1 = 1 num2 = 1 so if num1 doesn't equal 1 it is False because 1 does equal 1 therefore we get False

33
00:03:24 --> 00:03:32
These here are the simple Comparison Operators. Play around with them. See what you can do.  Thanks for watching.
