$result = $data1 . $data2;

This is called string concatenation. Your example lacks a space though, so for that specifically, you would need:

$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;

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;

Another possibility is the .= operator. I’m using it for huge SQL queries.

$string = "the color is ";
$string .= "red";

echo $string; // Gives: the color is red

Concatenate them with the . operator:

$result = $data1 . " " . $data2;

Or use string interpolation:

$result = "$data1 $data2";

$result = implode(' ', array($data1, $data2));

is more generic.

Another form available is this:

<?php
$data1 = "the color is";
$data2 = "red";
$result = "{$data1} {$data2}";

You can try the following line of code

$result = $data1 . " " . $data2;

You can do this using PHP:

$txt1 = "the color is";
$txt2 = " red!";
echo $txt1 . $txt2;

This will combine two strings and the output will be: “the color is red!”.

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.

This should work for you:

$result = $data1 . " " . $data2;` 

Reference: PHP String Variables

Try this:

$result = $data1 . $data2;

$s = "my name is ";

$s .= "keyur";

echo $s; 

result:

my name is keyur

I am not exactly clear with what your requirements are, but basically you could separately 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.

$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;

or

The best way.

$result = "$data1 $data2";

or

$result = "{$data1} {$data2};

The easiest way that already mentioned here:

$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;

In some cases you may need to use functions like join() or implode(). Both the functions does the same thing that is it convert array items into string.

Example 1:

$result = join(' ', [$data1, $data2]);

Example 2:

$result = implode(' ', [$data1, $data2]);

you can make your on array have empty not empty values; and use filter and implode to make full sentence

$str1 = 'hello';
$str2 = 'my name';
$str3 = 'vijay';
$str4 = '';
$fullsentence = array_filter([$str1, $str2, $str3, $str4]);
echo implode(' ', $fullsentence);

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

3. Concatenate the string using printf function.

   Code Snippet:

    <?php
        $data1 = "Sachin";
        $data2 = "Tendulkar";
        printf("%s%sn", $data1, $data2);
        printf("%s %sn", $data1, $data2);
    ?>
   

   Output:

    SachinTendulkar
    Sachin Tendulkar
   

Combine two strings together in PHP:

$result = $data1 . ' ' . $data2;

Try this. We can append a string in PHP with the 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)
