PHP divides the operators in the following groups: Arithmetic operators Assignment operators String operators Increment/Decrement operators Logical operators Comparison operators Equality Operators Array operators 6 Arithmetic Operators: The PHP arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common arithmetical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication etc. +, - ,*, /, %, ** 7 Assignment Operators: The PHP assignment operators are used with numeric values to write a value to a variable. The basic assignment operator in PHP is "=". It means that the left operand gets set to the value of the assignment expression on the right. = += ($a +=$b ), *= , /= .= ($a .= $b) 8 9 String Operators: PHP has two operators that are specially designed for strings. . , .= $a=“abcd”.”efgh”; $a=abcdefgh $a.=“ijk”; $a=abcdefghijk 10 String Operators: 11 First Variable Second Variable Concatenation Using .= 12 13 Adds $b in $a Concatenates $b with $a 14 15 Increment/decrement Operators: The PHP increment operators are used to increment a variable's value. The PHP decrement operators are used to decrement a variable's value. ++ , -- $b=$a++ $b=++$a 16 Increment/decrement Operators: 17 Variable Declared Incremented Before Display Incremented After Display Displaying Incremented Value 18 19 Logical Operators: The PHP logical operators are used to | 1 CIIT-Human Computer Interaction-CSC456-Fall-2015-Mr. Tehseen Riaz Abbasi 1 2 Setting the environment PHP overview What is a PHP File Open-source Platform independent What Can PHP Do?
