php add two options to variable

Question

I have this code ->

<?php

$savearray = $this->savedlist;
$selectdata = new stdClass;
$selectdata->id='';
$selectdata->title=JText::_('BLA_BLA_BLA');
array_push($savearray, $selectdata);
$savearray = array_reverse($savearray);
echo JHTML::_('select.genericlist',$savearray,'savedlist','class="inputbox"','id','title','');

?>

I want to add to $selectdata->title=JText::_('BLA_BLA_BLA');

this code echo count($this->savedlist)

so what I want to achieve is something like ->

$selectdata->title=JText::_('BLA_BLA_BLA') . echo count($this->savedlist);

It doesn't work like $selectdata->title=JText::_('BLA_BLA_BLA') . echo count($this->savedlist); , can somebody PLEASE help me, how can I add the "count" code near the "BLA_BLA_BLA" text..?

Thank you

You cannot use echo inside string concatenation. echo will output string, and you wan't to assign function return value to another variable.

$selectdata->title = JText::_('BLA_BLA_BLA') . count($this->savedlist);
