Understanding Variables in PHP

In this guide, we’ll explore the basics of variables in PHP. Learn how to create and use variables to manage data effectively.

What Are Variables?

Variables in PHP store data that can be used and modified. Think of them as containers with labels.

In PHP, you create a variable by using the $ symbol followed by the variable name:

// Declaring variables
$name = "Alice"; // String variable
$age = 25;       // Integer variable
$pi = 3.14;      // Float variable

Use $ followed by a meaningful name to create variables you can work with throughout your PHP code.
