Explore PHP basics like Conditionals, Loops, Functions, and Arrays, then dive into advanced topics such as Classes, Inheritance, and Exception Handling to boost your programming skills.

This highly interactive course introduces you to fundamental programming concepts in PHP, one of the most popular languages in the world. It begins with a simple Hello world program and proceeds on to cover common concepts such as Conditional Statements, Loop Statements, and Logic in PHP. 

It then reflects upon the idea of Functions and Arrays, as well as the power they give to the programmer to write better code. 

Finally, it dives deeper in order to teach about advanced concepts such as Classes, Inheritance and Exception Handling in PHP. By the time you're done, you'll have a good grip on the basics of PHP, and will be ready to study advanced concepts.

Learn PHP from Scratch

As we discussed [earlier](https://www.educative.io/courses/learn-php-from-scratch/variables-and-data-types), an array is like a list of values. The simplest form of an array is indexed by an integer, and ordered by the index, with the first element lying at index 0.

To debug your code while working with arrays, it is very important to view the keys and their associated values. Accessing the length of an array can also be useful on numerous occasions.   
## Outputting a Structured View of Arrays

To print an array in a readable format we use the following: 
```php
print_r($arrayName)
``` 
This will print the keys and their associated values. Run the code below to see how `print_r()` works.

# Outputting a Structured View of Arrays

To print an array in a readable format we use the following: 
```php
print_r($arrayName)

This will print the keys and their associated values. Run the code below to see how `print_r()` works.


In this lesson. we will learn about printing arrays and finding length of an array.
