We learn that strings in PHP are pieces of text, or words, that our computer treats as one item. You can also say that a string is a sequence of text. We are told that every part of a program is text, but our strings are those parts we intend to keep as data, as opposed to the instructions we want to be executed by our computer. We use double quotation marks around our string of text. Understanding strings in PHP is a key fundamental to learning the basics in your beginning journey.
