Basic Syntax Variables Numerical Operations

Files start with <?php $varia​ble​Name; Addition $variable = $variable + 5;

Single line comment // a comment $varia​bleName = "Some String​"; Subtra​ction $variable = $variable - 5;

Multi-line comment / comment / $varia​bleName = 'Some String'; Multip​lic​ation $variable = $variable * 5;

End of instru​ction ; $varia​bleName = strtou​ppe​r('​text'); Division $variable = $variable / 5;

Include code from requir​e_o​nce​('s​ome​_fi​l $varia​bleName = 5;

another file e.p​hp'); Arrays
$variable = "Some {$othe​rVa​riable} info";

echo $varia​ble​Name; // output Create $myArray = array();
