What command is used to output to the screen?
- Echo

How are variables denoted?
- $

What does "loosely typed language" mean?
- A programming language that does not require a variable to be defined

How are "=" and "= =" different?
- The perfect question for Ol Tad. He still gets these confused.
- = Setting something equal to something else
- = = Comparing something to something else. (Ex: If Something equals this - do this)

What are the 3 parts of a for loop?
- Starting Point(usually a dummy variable starting at 1 or 0)
- Length of the loop. Go until it reaches a certain point.
- Variable Increment

What goes at the very end of do-while loop?
-What goes at the end of every line of code. Semicolon;

What is an array?
- A storage system that can collect different individual elements and store them in different sections of the array. All arrays start at [0]. These elements can be pulled separately or all at once. They can also be edited and deleted and moved to a different position.

What are the 4 loop types we've covered?
-I wish I was learning PHP from someone! It would have been a lot easier than reading(HATE IT) and teaching myself.
- Foreach
- For
- While
- Do While
- IF STATEMENT(JOKING)

How do the "POST" and "GET" methods differ?
- Once POST is sent, you can't get the information that was in the post back. If the information is stored in a GET, then you can get it at anytime from the URL. POSTS are better used for secure sensitive information while GETS are better for pages that have a lot of information that needs to be stored and is not secure since anyone will be able to see it at anytime.
