Assignment Operators in PHP

Operator     Example                 Action
+=               $a += 3;               Changes the value of a variable
                                                 variable  to the current value
                                                 plus the value on the right side.

-=                $a -= 3;                Changes the value of a variable
                                                 to the current value minus the
                                                 value on the right side.

.=                 $a .= "string";       Concatenates (adds on to) 
                                                                                                      the value on the right side with
                                                                                                      the current value.
