PHP Operators

Operators operate on variables and produce calculated results such as additions or multiplications or comparisons. In PHP, following are operators are available.

• Arithmetic Operators
• Comparison Operators
• Logical Operators
• Assignment Operators

Let’s discuss each operator one by one.

Arithmetic operators

Operator	Description
+	Adds two operands
–	Subtracts right operand from the left operand
*	Multiplies two operands
/	Divides left operand by right operand
%	Modulus operation (remainder of left operand divided by right operand)
++	Increment operand by one integer value
—	Decrement operand by one integer value

<?php
	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
	$KH_Operand2 = 15;
	 
	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 + $KH_Operand2;
	echo "Operand1 + Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 - $KH_Operand2;
	echo "Operand1 - Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 * $KH_Operand2;
	echo "Operand1 * Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 / $KH_Operand2;
	echo "Operand1 / Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 % $KH_Operand2;
	echo "Operand1 % Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = ++$KH_Operand1; 
	echo "++ Opearrtor1 = $KH_Result <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Result = --$KH_Operand2; 
	echo "-- Operand2 = $KH_Result <br/>";
?>

Comparison Operators

Operator	Description
==	Condition is true only when value of two operands are same
!=	Condition is true only when value of both operands is different
<	Condition is true only when value of first operand is less than second operand
>	Condition is true only when value of first operand is greater than second operand
<=	Condition is true only when value of first operand is less than or equal to second operand
>=	Condition is true only when value of first operand is greater than or equal to second operand

<?php
	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
	$KH_Operand2 = 15;

	if ($KH_Operand1 == $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is equal to Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is not equal to Operand2 <br/>";

	if ($KH_Operand1 < $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is less than Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is not less than Operand2 <br/>";

	if ($KH_Operand1 > $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is greater than Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is not greater than Operand2 <br/>";

	if ($KH_Operand1 <= $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is less or equal to Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is not less or equal to Operand2 <br/>";

	if ($KH_Operand1 >= $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is greater or equal to Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is not greater or equal to Operand2 <br/>";

	if ($KH_Operand1 != $KH_Operand2) 
	  echo "Operand1 is not equal to Operand2 <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand1 is equal to Operand2 <br/>";
?>

Logical Operators

Operator	Description
and	Condition is true only if the value of both operands is true
or	Condition is true only if the value of either operands is true
&&	Condition is true only if the value of both operands is true
||	Condition is true only if the value of either operands is true
!	Condition is true only if the value of operand is false

<?php

	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
	$KH_Operand2 = 0;
	 
	if ($KH_Operand1 == 55 && $KH_Operand2 == 15) 
	  echo "Both operands are true <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Either of operands is false <br/>";

	$KH_Operand2 = 15;

	if ($KH_Operand1 and $KH_Operand2)
	  echo "Both operands are true <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Either of operands is false <br/>";
	 
	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
	$KH_Operand2 = 0;

	if ($KH_Operand1 || $KH_Operand2)
	  echo "Either of operands is true <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Both operands are false <br/>";

	$KH_Operand1 = 0;
	$KH_Operand2 = 0;

	if ($KH_Operand1 or $KH_Operand2)
	  echo "Either of operands is true <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Both operands are false <br/>";

	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
					  
	if (!$KH_Operand1)
	  echo "Operand is false <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand is true <br/>";
	 
	if (!$KH_Operand2)
	  echo "Operand2 is false <br/>";
	else
	  echo "Operand2 is true <br/>";
?>

Assignment Operators

Operator	Description
=	Assign right side operand value to left side operand
+=	First add the value of right operand to left side operand and then result is assigned to left operand
-=	First subtract the value of right operand from left side operand and then result is assigned to left operand
*=	First multiply the value of right operand with left side operand and then result is assigned to left operand
/=	First divide the value of left operand with right side operator and then result is assigned to left operand
%=	First take the modulus of two operands and then result is assigned to left operand

<?php

	$KH_Operand1 = 55;
	$KH_Operand2 = 15;

	$KH_Result = $KH_Operand1 + $KH_Operand2;   
	echo "Addtion Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Addtion Operation Result: 70 

	$KH_Result += $KH_Operand1;
	echo "Add AND Assigment Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Add AND Assigment Operation Result: 125 

	$KH_Result -= $KH_Operand1; 
	echo "Subtract AND Assignment Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Subtract AND Assignment Operation Result: 70 

	$KH_Result *= $KH_Operand1; 
	echo "Multiply AND Assignment Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Multiply AND Assignment Operation Result: 3850 

	$KH_Result /= $KH_Operand1; 
	echo "Division AND Assignment Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Division AND Assignment Operation Result: 70 

	$KH_Result %= $KH_Operand1; 
	echo "Modulus AND Assignment Operation Result: $KH_Result <br/>"; // Output: Modulus AND Assignment Operation Result: 15 
?>
