    If it's the same as PHP it means add 0 to the end of $line. For instance:

    $line="1"
    $line.=0
    echo $line

    Will print "10"

    Indeed. More specifically, '.' is the string concatenation operator. So just like
    Code:
    $n += 3
    translates to:
    Code:
    $n = $n + 3
    We see that
    Code:
    $n .= '0'
    translates to
    Code:
    $n = $n . '0'
