PHP Strings

You can create a string by storing its value in a variable .or send it to echo command directly.The return of function may be stored in a variable.

Code:


<?
   $mystring=" I am here";
   echo " I am here";
   echo "$mystring";
?>


the output is :

Code:


I am here I am here


Using single quotes :
you can create string using single quotes instead of double quotes.

Code:


<?
   $mystring=' I am here';
   echo ' I am here';
   echo $mystring;
?>


the output is :

Code:


I am here I am here


to use single quote within string you have to escape it using backslash
for example

Code:

 echo 'I am \'Tom\' ';
