How can a PHP beginner output a variable multiple times in a string?

To output a variable multiple times in a string in PHP, you can use concatenation (.) to combine the variable with the string. This allows you to include the variable's value at different positions within the string. Simply place the variable within the string where you want its value to appear, and concatenate it with the rest of the string.

<?php
// Define a variable
$name = "John";

// Output the variable multiple times in a string
echo "Hello, " . $name . "! Welcome back, " . $name . "!";
?>
