Concatenation is process of joining the entities . We can concatenate on left and right side of any variable or with any string.
Suppose we have two words in two different variables . Then we can concatenate them into the third variable . Then third variable will have the joined or total data that is gained by joining the two variables.
A simple example is :
For example, "infrastructure" is a concatenation of the words "infra" and "structure" into a new word.
In PHP for concatenation we use the dot ( . ) symbol . Below two variables are concatenate using dot symbol .
<?php
$var_a = "Hello to the";
$var_a = "Future !";
$result = $var_a.$var_b;
echo $result;
?>
Output: Hello to the Future !
We can also concatenate strings with the variable.
<?php
$figure= "67";
$result = "By BuiltWith report 2018 " .$figure." % web based projects developed in PHP";
echo $result;
?>
Output: By BuiltWith report 2018 67 % web based projects developed in PHP
