PHP Concatenate Strings - Explained with Examples

Master PHP string concatenation with ease! This guide offers practical examples, empowering you to seamlessly combine and manipulate strings for dynamic content.

String Concatenation

To concatenate, or combine, two strings you can use the . operator:

Example

$x = "Hello";
$y = "World";
$z = $x . $y;
echo $z;

The result of the example above is HelloWorld, without a space between the two words.

You can add a space character like this:

Example

$x = "Hello";
$y = "World";
$z = $x . " " . $y;
echo $z;

An easier and better way is by using the power of double quotes.

By surrounding the two variables in double quotes with a white space between them, the white space will also be present in the result:

Example

$x = "Hello";
$y = "World";
$z = "$x $y";
echo $z;
