PHP Operators
PHP supports various operators for performing arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment, and other operations.
Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical operations.
- + Addition
- - Subtraction
- * Multiplication
- / Division
- % Modulus (remainder)
- ** Exponentiation
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare values.
- == Equal to
- != Not equal to
- === Identical (equal and same type)
- !== Not identical
- > Greater than
- < Less than
- >= Greater than or equal to
- <= Less than or equal to
Logical Operators
Logical operators are used for conditional statements.
- and Logical and
- or Logical or
- xor Logical xor
- ! Logical not
Assignment Operators
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.
- = Assign
- += Add and assign
- -= Subtract and assign
- *= Multiply and assign
- /= Divide and assign
- %= Modulus and assign
- **= Exponentiation and assign
Example of PHP Operators
<?php
$a = 10;
$b = 5;
echo $a + $b . "\n";
// Outputs: 15
echo $a == $b . "\n";
// Outputs:
echo $a > $b . "\n";
// Outputs: 1
?>Output:
15
