In PHP, the operator to concatenate or combine strings together is: . (dot)
Here are some examples of usage when concatenating strings:
<?php
$string1 = ‘tech’;
$string2 = ’saints’;
$string3 = ‘.com’;
$full = $string1.$string2.$string3;
echo $full;
?>
Result: techsaints.com
<?php
$string = ‘techsai’;
$string .= ‘nts’;
$string .= ‘.com’;
echo $str;
?>
Result: techsaints.com
<?php
$num = 123;
$string = $num.’ is a number’;
echo $string;
?>
Result: 123 is a number
When concatenating a number and a string, the string is automatically cast as a string.
