If you want to initialize multiple array variables then use

# Initialize multiple array variables with Empty values
$array_1 = $array_2 = $array_3 = array();

# Print value of array variables
var_dump($array_1,$array_2,$array_3);

Output:
*******
string 'one' (length=3)
string 'two' (length=3)
string 'three' (length=5)

If you want to initialize multiple regular variables then use

# Initialize multiple regular variables with values
$a = $b = $c = 'Hello PHP';
echo $a.'
',$b.'
', $c.'

Output:

Hello PHP
Hello PHP
Hello PHP
