Assignment Operators "assign" values from the right argument to the left argument — usually in the form of variables. The basic assignment operator is "=
", which assigns the value on the right to the variable on the left. Here is a table of more assignment operators:
Assignment | Same as | Description |
---|---|---|
$a += $b |
$a = $a + $b |
Addition |
$a -= $b |
$a = $a - $b |
Subtraction |
$a *= $b |
$a = $a * $b |
Multiplication |
$a /= $b |
$a = $a / $b |
Division |
$a %= $b |
$a = $a % $b |
Modulus |
$a .= $b |
$a = $a . $b |
Concatenation |
Here's an example of how to use one of the above operators:
<?php $a = 71; $b = 36; $a -= $b; echo $a; // Prints 35 ?>
Feel free to experiment with the above assignment operators with some PHP using the practice.php page provided in this folder.
