PHP else-if statement CODE
The code will output "Have a nice weekend!" if the current day is Friday, and "Have a nice Sunday!" if the current day is Sunday, otherwise it will output "Have a nice day!" 
$d = date("D");
if($d == "Fri"){
    echo "Have a nice weekend!";
} elseif($d == "Sun"){
    echo "Have a nice Sunday!";
} else{
    echo "Have a nice day!";

	echo "Have a good night!";
}
Prints 
Adult
If 
$age
is more than 
18
, and 
Teenager
if the variable is less than 12. Otherwise it prints 
Child

if ($age > 18) {
    echo 'Adult';
} else if ($age > 12) {
    echo 'Teenager';
} else {
    echo 'Child';
}
PHP If statement CODE
If the current day is Friday the code will output "Have a nice weekend!" PHP datetime format: https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php 
$d = date("D");
if ($d == "Fri"){

is more than 
18
, prints

$age = 20;
if ($age > 18) {
	echo 'Adult';	
}
Array types CODE
Indexed array 
$colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"];
$colors[] = "Yellow";
Associative arrays 
$student = [
	"name"=>"George", 
	"weight"=>77, 
	"height"=>1.8, 
	"male"=>true
];
$student["male"] = true;
echo 'George is ' . $student['weight'] . 'kg'."\n";
Multidimensional arrays 
$students = [
	"George"=> [
		"name"=>"George", 
		"weight"=>77, 
		"height"=>1.8, 
		"male"=>true
	],
	"Alex"=> [
		"name"=>"Alex", 
		"weight"=>87, 
		"height"=>2.8, 
		"male"=>true,
		"parents"=> [
			"father"=>"David",
			"mother"=>"Marta",
		]
	],
	
];
echo 'Alex weighs ' . $students['Alex']['weight'] . 'kg'."\n";
echo "Alex's father is: " . $students['Alex']['parents']['father'];
Math functions CODE
Function 
min()
finds the lowest value from its arguments 
echo min(10, 15, 7, 9, 17)."\n"; // 7
Function 
max()
finds the highest value from its arguments 
echo max(10, 15, 7, 9, 17)."\n"; // 17
Function 
count()
counts all elements in the array 
echo count([10, 15, 7, 9, 17])."\n";
Function 
round()
rounds a floating-point number to its nearest integer 
echo(round(0.75))."\n";  // returns 1
echo(round(0.5))."\n";  // returns 1
echo(round(0.49))."\n";  // returns 0
Function 
floor()
rounds the floating-point number down 
echo floor(3.3)."\n";// 3  
echo floor(7.84)."\n";// 7 
echo floor(-4.8)."\n";// -5

echo pi()."\n";// 3.1415926535898
Function 
abs()

Differences between echo and print CODE
1. 
echo
can take multiple parameters 
echo 'one', 'two', 'three', "\n";
2. 
print
statement returns 1 
$print_returns = print('some text')."\n";
echo "print_returns Value: $print_returns" . "\n";
echo
prints 1 after 
print
statement is executed 
echo print "123", "\n";
3. 
echo
is a little bit faster than 
print
set footer background after only scroll down event
Sets background image only when a user scrolls down (not to load every image at first)
document.addEventListener("scroll", setBG);
function setBG() {
    if (!bgSet) {
        var bgSet=1;
        id('table_footer').style.background='url(/images/footer.jpg?tg)';
        document.removeEventListener("scroll", setBG);
        console.log('fired');
    }
}
several ways to put space between table rows CODE
fThe First way is to use 
border-spacing
property
table {
    border-collapse:separate;
    border-spacing:0 15px;
}
Another way is to put additional separator TRs 
<tr class="separator" />
between rows
.separator {
    height: 10px;
}
Third way is to use 
margin-bottom
property
tr { 
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
}
load CSS resource only for mobile devices using PHP 
<?php
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Mobile")){ // if mobile browser
?>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style-400.css" type="text/css" />
<?php
} else { // desktop browser
?>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
<?php
}
?>
Recursive function for multi level tree view selector
The function gets data table, passes to recursive function to get associative array back. Encodes the array to JSON and returns back to user:
public function getCategoryTreeJSON()
{
    $query = "  SELECT
                    c1.id,
                    c1.name,
                    c1.parent_id,
                    (
                        SELECT
                            COUNT(c2.id) 
                        FROM
                            categories AS c2 
                        WHERE
                            c2.parent_id = c1.id
                    )
                    AS children_count 
                FROM
                    categories AS c1";

    $categoryDetails = json_decode(json_encode(DB::select($query)), true);
    
    $array_tree = $this->getCategoryTreeArray($categoryDetails);

    return json_encode($array_tree);
}
Recursive function that returns multi level associative array. Base case: when 
children_count
is equal to zero.
public function getCategoryTreeArray($items, $parent_id = 0)
{
    $branch = [];
    $array_JSON = [];  

    foreach ($items as $item) {
        if ($item['parent_id'] == $parent_id) {

            if ($item['children_count'] > 0) {
                
                $array_JSON[] = [
                    'id'=>$item['id'],
                    'title'=>$item['name'],
                    'subs'=>$this->getCategoryTreeArray($items, $item['id'])
                ];
                
            } else {
                
                $array_JSON[] = [
                    'id'=>$item['id'],
                    'title'=>$item['name']
                ];
            }
            
        }
    }
    return $array_JSON;
}
upload multiple files at once and validate file mimes on front / back
In order to upload several files at once we need to specify 
multiple
attribute and append 
[]
to input name
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="files[]" placeholder="Attach file"/>
To validate show errors on client side we have to append input name with 
.*
Complete example of the 
form-group
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="files">Attach File</label> &nbsp;
    <i id="add_new_file" class="ki ki-plus text-success pointer" title="Add New File"></i>
    <input type="file" class="form-control mb-2 {{ $errors->has('files.*') ? 'is-invalid' : '' }}" multiple="multiple" name="files[]" placeholder="Attach file"/>
    @if($errors->has('files.*'))
        <div class="invalid-feedback">
            <strong>{{ $errors->first('files.*') }}</strong>
        </div>
    @endif
</div>
Server side validation of mime types
public function rules()
{
    return [
        'comment' => 'sometimes|nullable|min:2|max:255',
        'files.*' => 'sometimes|nullable|mimes:pdf,docx,xlsx,pptx,rar,zip,png,jpg',
    ];
}
It's necessary the validator key 
files
to be appended with the same symbols 
.*
