The popular web programming platform PHP is known for its functionality for web designers and developers alike. This holds true in providing support for odd and even number functions, which are surprisingly not always in use by web developers today. Indeed, there is much to learn in how to use such functions.
First, it should be noted that PHP does not, as of the current time of writing, have its own pre-built function to check for an odd or even number. Instead, PHP developers must create their own functions or IF statements . Developers may even use bitwise operators to determine if a number is even or odd, which goes to show that there are no shortage of ways in getting the end result.
Even if readers aren't web developers, they have likely seen the effects an odd number function has had on PHP web development in general. Most websites that have to organize a lot of data will alternate table row styles to make data much easier to read. This can also be seen in commenting systems, lyrics websites, and forum systems. It's just another last-touch that really puts a spin on a finished application.
When conferencing with a database, odd and even number functions may be used to select only specific rows in a database. This is especially handy when putting database information into an array to output to a table. One can also modify a query to select odd and even columns as well, and essentially create a 3D array by conjoining the data.
Arrays are great at storing information outside of a database- great for getting access to information in the current session without much hassle or without creating a bottleneck at the database. One interesting concept is to create multi-dimensional arrays out of a single array, by sorting information based on even and odd numbers.
Last but not least, we can couple a function to find even and odd numbers with the built-in date functions to achieve different results. We could, for instance, use odd and even numbers to put into algorithms to do all types of things- such as limiting the amount of login attempts a user can make in a given time period or even allowing doing something as simple as displaying data only at certain times. Whatever the case, the possibilities are endless when it comes to being creative in odd and even numbers.
Final Thoughts
Even if one isn't much of a programmer, yet likes to design, he or she should consider learning some basic PHP to stay updated with the times. It will lead to more lucrative freelance jobs, make one's self more sought after in employment agencies, and expand one's own horizon.
