To concat, . operator concats left & right values; Google it for more info

Code
$myVar = 2; // declare variable in php


print_r($myVar . "<br>");  //print on screen your variable w html brake to next line and using concat . operator


$myVar .= $myVar;  // concat  variable to itself using . operator


print_r($myVar. "<br>");// print as before
