 The PHP String concatenation operator is used to combine values to create a string. The concatenation operator is represented by a period/full stop (.) and can be used to build a string from other strings, variables containing non-strings (such as numbers) and even constants:

 You can do anything in an execution operator that you could do as if you were sitting at a terminal window on the computer (within the confines of the user account under which PHP is running). Given this fact, it should not escape your attention that there are potential security risks to this, so this PHP feature should be used with care.
-The excecution operator consists of enclosing the command to be executed in back quotes (`). The following example runs the UNIX/Linux ''uname'' and ''id'' commands to display information about the operating system and user account on which the web server and PHP module are running (note that these command will not work if you are running a Windows based server):
