What am I missing here? How is the dot operator not considered
concatenation?

$concatenatedString = 'a'.'concatenated'.'string';

tirumal,

Do you want do to this?

$string = "ssh.$ipaddr.command";

?

We know periods are for concatination, but periods _within_ strings are not.

$ipaddr = "122.122.122.122";
$str = 'a'.$ipaddr.'string';

From the way I read that, the periods _within_ $ipaddr were being seen as
concatination characters (according to OP), which doesn't make sense. So I
wanted an example.
