By the end of this tutorial you will be aware of:

Php Operators Types
Php Arithmetic or Mathematical Operators on Php Numerical Variables
Php Comparison Operators on Php Various Type Variables:
Other Php Operators on Php String Variables:

Php Operators Types

The php operators are itemized into several types matching variables types, which could be summarized as follow:

Php Arithmetic or Mathematical Operators on Php Numerical Variables:

Adding two variables

$x + $y

Subtracting two variables

$x - $y

Multiplicating two variables

$x * $y

Dividing two variables

$x / $y

Percentage of first out of second variables

$x % $y

Adding one to variable

$x++

Subtracting one from variable

$x--

Adding more than one to variable

$x+=n

Subtracting more than one from variable

$x-=n

Php Comparison Operators on Php Various Type Variables:

Two equal variables

$x == $y

Two equal variables and of same type

$x === $y

Multiplicating two variables

$x * $y

Two unequal variables

$x != $y

Two unequal variables and not of same type

$x !== $y

First variable is less than the second variable

$x < $y

First variable is greater than the second variable

$x > $y

First variable is less than and equal to the second variable

$x <= $y

First variable is greater than and equal to the second variable

$x >= $y

Other Php Operators on Php String Variables:

Concatenating or merging two php variables

$x .= $y

Declaring php variable from php string variable

$x = "y";
$$x = "value";
same as $y = "value";
