I don't actually know how to describe what I wanted but I'll show you:
For example:
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
What should I do (or process) so $result is the combination of $data1
and $data2
?
Desired result:
$result = "the color is red";
This question is related to
php
string
variables
combinations
A period is used to concatenate strings. Simple example to turn two string variables into a single variable:
$full = $part1 . $part2;
In your example, you'd want to do:
$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;
You'll notice I added a string of one space between the two variables. This is because your original $data1
did not end with a space. If you had combined them without it, your $result
variable would end up looking like the color isred
.
$result = implode(' ', array($data1, $data2));
is more generic.
You can do this using PHP:
$txt1 = "the color is";
$txt2 = " red!";
echo $txt1.$txt2;
This will combine two strings and the putput will be: "the color is red!".
1.Concatenate the string (space between each string)
Code Snippet :
<?php
$txt1 = "Sachin";
$txt2 = "Tendulkar";
$result = $txt1.$txt2 ;
echo $result. "\n";
?>
Output: SachinTendulkar
2.Concatenate the string where space exists
Code Snippet :
<?php
$txt1 = "Sachin";
$txt2 = "Tendulkar";
$result = $txt1." ".$txt2;
echo $result. "\n";
?>
Output : Sachin Tendulkar
- Concatenate the string using printf function.
Code Snippet :
<?php
$data1 = "Sachin";
$data2 = "Tendulkar";
printf("%s%s\n",$data1, $data2);
printf("%s %s\n",$data1, $data2);
?>
Output:
SachinTendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar
I believe the most performant way is:
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;
If you want to implement localisation, you may do something like this:
$translationText = "the color is %s";
$translationRed = "red";
$result = sprintf($translationText, $translationRed);
It's a bit slower, but it does not assume grammar rules.
$result = $data1 . $data2;
try this
combine two strings together in PHP?
$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;
$result = $data1 . $data2;
This is called string concatenation. Your example lacks a space though, so for that specifically, you would need:
$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;
No one mentioned this but there is other possibility. I'm using it for huge sql queries. You can use .= operator :)
$string = "the color is ";
$string .= "red";
echo $string; // gives: the color is red
There are several ways to concatenate two strings together.
Use the concatenation operator .
(and .=
)
In PHP .
is the concatenation operator which returns the concatenation of its right and left arguments
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;
If you want to append a string to another string you would use the .=
operator:
$data1 = "the color is ";
$data1 .= "red"
Complex (curly) syntax / double quotes strings
In PHP variables contained in double quoted strings are interpolated (i.e. their values are "swapped out" for the variable). This means you can place the variables in place of the strings and just put a space in between them. The curly braces make it clear where the variables are.
$result = "{$data1} {$data2}";
Note: this will also work without the braces in your case:
$result = "$data1 $data2";
You can also concatenate array values inside a string :
$arr1 = ['val' => 'This is a'];
$arr2 = ['val' => 'test'];
$variable = "{$arr1['val']} {$arr2['val']}";
Use sprintf()
or printf()
sprintf()
allows us to format strings using powerful formatting options. It is overkill for such simple concatenation but it handy when you have a complex string and/or want to do some formatting of the data as well.
$result = sprintf("%s %s", $data1, $data2);
printf()
does the same thing but will immediately display the output.
printf("%s %s", $data1, $data2);
// same as
$result = sprintf("%s %s", $data1, $data2);
echo $result;
Heredoc
Heredocs can also be used to combine variables into a string.
$result= <<<EOT
$data1 $data2
EOT;
Use a ,
with echo()
This only works when echoing out content and not assigning to a variable. But you can use a comma to separate a list of expressions for PHP to echo out and use a string with one blank space as one of those expressions:
echo $data1, ' ', $data2;
$s = "my name is ";
$s .= "keyur";
echo $s;
result:
my name is keyur
Another form available is this:
<?php
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
$result = "{$data1} {$data2}";
I am not exactly clear with what your requirements are but basically you could seperately define the two variables and thereafter combine them together.
$data1="The colour is ";
$data2="red";
$result=$data1.$data2;
By doing so you can even declare $data2 as a global level so you could change its value during execution, for instance it could obtain the answer "red" from a checkbox.
Try this , we can append string in php with dot (.) symbol
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
echo $data1.$data2; //the color isred
echo $data1." ".$data2; // the color is red (we have appended space)
Concatenate them with the .
operator:
$result = $data1 . " " . $data2;
Or use string interpolation:
$result = "$data1 $data2";
You can try the following line of code
$result = $data1." ".$data2;
