append to php variable code example
Example 1: php append string
<?php
$a = "Hello ";
$b = $a . "World!"; // now $b contains "Hello World!"
$a = "Hello ";
$a .= "World!"; // now $a contains "Hello World!"
?>
Example 2: Adding string with number in php
$a = "3dollars";
$b = 20;
echo $a += $b;
print($a += $b);
------------------------------
It casts '3dollars' as a number, getting $a = 3.
When you echo, you add 20, to $a, so it prints 23 and $a = 23.
Then, when you print, you again add 20, so now $a = 43.
