How to concatenate variables?

[eluser]shinokada[/eluser]
The original code it this.

Code:

switch ($updated){
    case 0:
    $string = $this->lang->line('orders_no_records');
    break;
        
    case 1:
    $string = "$updated record";
    break;
            
    default:
    $string = "$updated records";
    break;
...
...

Now I want to use language class and concatnate it. For example the last one.

Code:

default:
$records = $this->lang->line('orders_records');
$string = "$updated "."$records";
bread;

Is this the correct way to do it?

Code:

$string = $updated . $this->lang->line('orders_records');

Kind of, you do not need to put quotations around variables. Try this:

Code:

default:
$records = $this->lang->line('orders_records');
$string = $updated . " " . $records;
bread;
