In PHP, the assignment operator is an equal sign (=).
The assignment operator assigns a value to a variable.
Example
<?php $msg = "Hello World"; echo $msg; ?>
The above example assigns the value "Hello World" to a variable named $msg.
The echo keyword then displays "Hello World" for the user.
Not to be confused with
Do not confuse the assignment operator with:
- Double equal sign (==)
- Triple equal sign (===)
Double and triple equal signs are comparative operators.
