PHP - Operators

In all programming languages, operators are used to manipulate or perform operations on variables and
values. You have already seen the string concatenation operator "." in the Echo Lesson and the assignment
operator "=" in pretty much every PHP example so far.
There are many operators used in PHP, so we have separated them into the following categories to make
it easier to learn them all.

• Assignment Operators
• Arithmetic Operators
• Comparison Operators
• String Operators
• Combination Arithmetic & Assignment Operators

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to set a variable equal to a value or set a variable to another variable's
value. Such an assignment of value is done with the "=", or equal character. Example:

• $my_var = 4;
• $another_var = $my_var

Now both $my_var and $another_var contain the value 4. Assignments can also be used in conjunction
with arithmetic operators.

Arithmetic Operators

Operator English Example


+ Addition 2+4
- Subtraction 6-2
* Multiplication 5 * 3
/ Division 15 / 3
% Modulus 43 % 10
