How can I concatenate a string with variables in PHP?

Here is my simple code logic just for the sake of simplicity. I want to concatenate string like: 10,11,12,13,14, but it's just adding all the values displaying wrong output as: ,100 it should display like: 10,11,12,13,14 like other programming languages do. 

<?php 

    // list is a string variable
    $list="";

    //total number of seats in a Bus
    $setnum=10;

    for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
        //i trying to concatenate string like 10,11,12,13,14 
        $list="$list".$i+$setnum.', ';
    }

    echo $list; 

?>

Try this:

// list is a string variable
$list = "";

// total number of seats in a Bus
$setnum = 10;
$list = "";
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
   // i trying to concatenate string like 10,11,12,13,14
   $list .= ($i + $setnum) . ', ';
}

echo $list;

You can use implode to avoid having a comma at the end and also you can use range to render an array with numerical values between two points.

So you could have something like

$setnum=10;
echo implode(',', range($setnum, ($setnum+10)));

You can see this snippet in action here: http://codepad.org/4nrD0Ajk

The best way to concatenate strings is to add the strings to array and then implode them. Read more about implode here

//total number of seats in a Bus
$setnum=10;

$list = array();

for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    //i trying to concatenate string like 10,11,12,13,14 
    $list[] =  $i+$setnum;
}

echo implode(',', $list);

Try this inside the for:

$list.= ($i+$setnum).', ';
