I thought working with stings in PHP was similar to JavaScript. The both were comprised of defining a variable and setting equal to the string value surrounded in quotes. However what I like about PHP is implementing the string on the page. It can be so easily by using the echo function. Also a difference that I found was combining the strings is done with a period rather than a plus sign. I also tried to get creative by outputting the length and the reverse of the string using the strlen() and strrev() functions.
