Type Coercion

In computer science, type conversion, typecasting, and coercion are different ways of, implicitly or explicitly, changing an entity of one data type into another.

PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition in variable declaration; a variable’s type is determined by the context in which the variable is used. That is to say, if a string value is assigned to variable $var, $var becomes a string. If an integer value is then assigned to $var, it becomes an integer.

Type Coercion means dealing with a variable type. In PHP a variables type is determined by the context in which it is used. If an integer value is assigned to a variable, it becomes an integer.

<?php
 $phpcodez= 10;   // $phpcodez is an integer
 $bar = (boolean) $phpcodez;   // $phpcodez is a boolean
 ?>

Why PHP is sometimes called as embedded scripting language?

PHP is a high level language which is used to allow users to write and understand it in human readable form and also use an interpreter to interpret the code which user write for the computer. PHP is used as an embedded scripting language for the web. PHP is embedded in HTML code. HTML tags are used to enclose the PHP language. HTML is used and PHP is code written in it in the same way as you write JavaScript in HTML.

System Testing

The system testing part of a testing methodology involves testing the entire system for errors and bugs. This test is carried out by interfacing the hardware and software components of the entire system (that have been previously unit tested and integration tested), and then testing it as a whole. This testing is listed under the black-box testing method, where the software is checked for user-expected working conditions as well as potential exception and edge conditions.
