//prepend to a string
$string_one = 'Learning to dispaly ';
$string_one = . = "Hello; // where are the finished quotes
$string_one = . = . $name; // you cannot concatenate like this , it will have to be, $string_one .= $name
$string_one = .= . '!" to the screen. '; // do the same as aboe
$string_one = $string_one = . "\n"; // do the same
$string_one = 'I am ' = $string_one = . "\n"; // do the same
