So what's wrong with this line of PHP code?

[BigToque]

$query = "SELECT Date, News FROM News LIMIT " + $rowstart + ", " + $numrowsID + " ' ";

I keep getting integer results from this line of code when I do an echo to see what I'm getting.

in PHP you concatenate strings with . (period) not +

PHP also parses variables in double quoted strings so $blah = 'world'; echo "hello $blah"; would print hello world

Thank you very much
