To assign the value "Tolkien" to the variable $author:

$author = "Tolkien";


Once assigned, additional strings can be added to a variable using the dot operator:

$author .= ", J.R.R.";
// results in $author containing "Tolkien, J.R.R."


The dot operator is like an addition operator for strings:

$var = "The author is ".$author;
// $var would contain "The author is Tolkien, J.R.R."
