Data types

PHP is a loosely or dynamically typed language which means you do not need to explicitly declare the data type of the variable……interpreter sets the value type depending upon the value stored to the variable…..Types of values those can be stored in Php are

Integer

String

Float

Array

Object

Boolean

Although casting(conversion fron one datatype to another) is not necessary in php but can be performed just in the same way as it was in c

Var2 = (data type) var1
