PHP equivalent of .NET/Java's toString()
php, string
Solution
You can use the casting operators:
$myText = (string)$myVar;
There are more details for string casting and conversion in the Strings section of the PHP manual, including special handling for booleans and nulls.
Problem
How do I convert the value of a PHP variable to string? I was looking for something better than concatenating with an empty string: ``` $myText = $myVar . ''; ``` Like the `ToString()` method in Java or .NET.
