using PRINT command and "+" to concatenate strings

[Dave-o]

New learner.

For the print command and concatenation, the period is difficult for
my afflicted eyes to see, but the "+" seems to work. Is this an
accepted PHP convention?

Thank you,
David

Nope. + is addition, not concatenation.

<?php
print("abc" + "def"):
?>

Result:

0

Follow-up...Note to self: No, it doesn't work!

Hmmm....Is there anything other than a period that can be used for
concatenation of strings when using the print command?

Thanks,

No. Period is the concatenation operator in PHP. And yes, it's hard
for me to see, also. :-)

Good to know. Thank you for the response. I'll go on squinting.

Or find an editor font that has bigger ones in? I used to have such a thing
but can't remember where I got it from, sorry.

With a descent adjustable syntax highlighter, you might be able to give it
a particular color of your choice making it more noticable. UltraEdit does
this fine for instance, I'm sure other editors should also be capable of
this.

Of course not, because it's a completely different operator.

The only other option is to avoid it as much as necessary:

$str1 = 'Hello';
$str2 = 'world!';

echo "$str1 $str2";

or echo "{$str1} {$str2}"; // brackets do not show

or echo "'$str1 $str2'"; // to enclose a string in single quotes...

or $var = "<any of the above methods>";

....take you pick. double quotes allow variables to be expanded, single
quotes do not. ;)

Try to play with text colors. I have better results with grey text on black background.
