add text line to php statement

I am manually inserting the blog copyright using <?php if (function_exists('bte_bc_tag')) { bte_bc_tag(); } ?>

I would like to add some text ” | Design by Sara F—–.” so that is is positioned on the same line as the copyright notice.

I tried writing it like this <div id="copyright-notice"><?php if (function_exists('bte_bc_tag')) { bte_bc_tag(); }, echo " | Design by Sara F-----."; ?> but I got an error.

How can I write this so that the copyright notice and design credit appear on the same line? I am not very familiar with PHP and would really appreciate some help.
