Can someone help me please ?

Hi !

 

I am learning PHP and MySQL to start as a freelancer.

 

I have gone through different topics but reviewing I came up with a curious question.

 

Which would be the difference between a string and a variable ?

Is the variable itself incl. the store data just literal text (string) but with a different function ?

 

Why do I have to put all the strings in "" and the variables in "" also like

 

string="Hello World";

$variable="Hello World";

 

Which would be the difference ?

 

Thanks guys

string="Hello World";

 

is wrong.

 

and in beginner terms....

 

a string is a literal like "Hello World"

A variable holds a string.

As far as PHP types you should read: Types.

 

I also advise you to work on a small project or task either by yourself or from a tutorial to get used to the syntax and PHP itself.
