Posted in PHP | PHP Basic on August 13, 2019

In this article, I will explain how the Assignment operator can be used in PHP.

PHP Operators

PHP language supports following type of operators.

Assignment Operators

The Assignment operators are summarized in the following table.

Operator	Same AS	Description
=	x = y	Simple assignment operator, Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand
+=	x =x + y	Add AND assignment operator, It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand
-=	x =x - y	Subtract AND assignment operator, It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand
*=	x =x * y	Multiply AND assignment operator, It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand
/=	x =x / y	Divide AND assignment operator, It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand
%=	x =x % y	Modulus AND assignment operator, It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand

Example

<html>

<head><title>Assignment Operators</title><head>

<body>

<?php

$x = 42;

$y = 20;

$c = $x + $y;

echo "Addtion Operxtion Result: $c ";

$c += $x;

echo "Assignment Operation AND Add Result: $c ";

$c -= $x;

echo "Assignment Operation AND Subtract Result: $c ";

$c *= $x; echo "Assignment Operation AND Multiply Result: $c ";

$c /= $x; echo "Assignment Operation AND Division : $c ";

$c %= $x;

echo "Assignment Operation AND Modulus : $c ";

</body>

</html>
