1) the official documentation of assignment operators : http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php 2) official precedence documentation including easy links to more information :http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php 3) nice cheatsheet with examples from w3schools.com : http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_operators.asp

think that is all you need :-)

what i understand by += , -= and *= is that when these operators are used then increment or decrement happens first.

To make it more simple lets take an example:-

i mostly use these operators in loops

so when we just want to make an increment or decrement in our loop by 1 (x+1) we write it as (x =+). what happens here is that first the loop prints 1 then 2 , 3 ,4 and so on... but when we use (x += ) then it prints 2 then 3,4,5 and so onn....

in simple words when we use =+ then increment happens first and then the output is given that why the first output we get is number 2. But on the other hand when we use =+ first it prints 1( initial value) then increment happens and it prints 2.

so, hope this helps you

happy coding...........

I think you want to type "in simple words when we use += then increment happens first and then the output is given that why the first output we get is number 2" right ??? BTW thanks bro :)
