Assignment Operators Table
The following table lists out all the assignment operators in PHP programming.
Operator | Symbol | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Simple Assignment | = | x = 5 | Assigns value of 5 to variable x. |
Addition Assignment | += | x += y | Assigns the result of x+y to x. |
Subtraction Assignment | -= | x -= y | Assigns the result of x-y to x. |
Multiplication Assignment | *= | x *= y | Assigns the result of x*y to x. |
Division Assignment | /= | x /= y | Assigns the result of x/y to x. |
Modulus Assignment | %= | x %= y | Assigns the result of x%y to x. |
Example
In the following program, we will take values in variables $x
and $y
, and perform assignment operations on these values using PHP Assignment Operators.
PHP Program
</>
Copy
<?php
// Simple Assignment
$x = 5;
echo "After Simple assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
// Addition Assignment
$x = 5;
$y = 2;
$x += $y;
echo "After Addition assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
// Subtraction Assignment
$x = 5;
$y = 2;
$x -= $y;
echo "After Subtraction assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
// Multiplication Assignment
$x = 5;
$y = 2;
$x *= $y;
echo "After Multiplication assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
// Division Assignment
$x = 5;
$y = 2;
$x /= $y;
echo "After Division assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
// Modulus Assignment
$x = 5;
$y = 2;
$x %= $y;
echo "After Modulus assignemnt, x = $x" . "<br>";
?>
