/=
Divide By OperatorDivides a variable by the right hand value (expression)
The Divide By operator takes the value of the variable specified on the left side of the operator and divides it by the value on the right hand side. Then it assigns the result back to the variable specified on the left side.
It is ostensibly just shorthand for $i = $i / value
.
This operator is only available in expressions.
» $i = 3
» $i /= 2
» $i
1.5
Unlike with the standard arithmetic operators (+
, -
, *
, /
), silent data casting isn’t supported with arithmetic assignments like +=
, -=
, *=
and /=
. Not even when strict-types
is disabled (read more)
You can work around this by using the slightly longer syntax: variable = value op value, for example:
» $i = "3"
» $i = $i + "2"
» $i
5
*=
Multiply By Operator: Multiplies a variable by the right hand value (expression)+=
Add With Operator: Adds the right hand value to a variable (expression)-=
Subtract By Operator: Subtracts a variable by the right hand value (expression)/
Division Operator: Divides one numeric value from another (expression)cast
