 * Hey I’m trying to concatenate two variables and use them to within a URL. However,
   it hasn’t been working and I’ve tried several different methods.
    Here is my 
   current code that I am trying to use, but it’s not working.
 *     ```
       <?php $proj_tit = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-project-title', true) ?>
       	<?php $proj_title = str_replace(" ", "-", $proj_tit) ?>
       	<?php $custurl = "http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/" ?>
       	<?php echo ('<a href="$custurl . $proj_title">$proj_tit</a>') ?>
       ```
   
 * $proj_tit is getting the value “Malware Evolution”
    $proj_title is getting the
   value “malware-evolution” $custurl is getting the value “[http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/&#8221](http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/&#8221);
 * 
 * With this code, my URL is this:
    [http://webdev.blabla.org/projects/$custurl.$proj_title](http://webdev.blabla.org/projects/$custurl.$proj_title)
 * I want it to look like this:
    [http://webdev.blabla.org/projects/malware-evolution](http://webdev.blabla.org/projects/malware-evolution)
 * I’m not sure why but the link is autmatically getting the “[http://webdev.blabla.org/projects&#8221](http://webdev.blabla.org/projects&#8221);
   part of the URL from somwhere. It’s not getting this from my $custurl variable.
 * Can anybody please help me? I’m lost as to what I should do.

 *     ```
       <?php echo '<a href="'.$custurl.''.$proj_title.'">'.$proj_tit.'</a>'; ?>
       ```
   
 * So, if your variables have values like this:
    $custurl = “[http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/&#8221](http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/&#8221);;
   $proj_title = “MyProject”; $proj_tit = “Link Title”;
 * the output will be
 *     ```
       <a href="http://www.webdev.blabla.org/projects/MyProject">Link Title</a>
       ```
