Hello, I know the appending concatenating assignment operator: $str_name = "Foobar"; $str_name .= " Sr"; echo $str_name;//Foobar Sr But is there a shortcut assignment operator for prepending concatenation? $str_name = "Foobar"; //$str_name =. "Mr "; // i know this is not allowed, but is there some shorcut? $str_name = "Mr " . $str_name; echo $str_name;//Mr Foobar Just curious.
