add number to string php code example

Example 1: 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.

Example 2: add two numbers as string in php

$num = "3.14";
$int = (int)$num;
$float = (float)$num;
