How to concatenate strings in php coming from the database table?

Question

I have a php code as shown below in which I want to concatenate strings in php coming from the database table.

$record['INFO']['PATH_FILE'] = A:\RW\YVR;

$record['INFO']['FILE_NAME'] = abc.doc;

On concatenation, I want the string to look like this A:\RW\16may05\abc.doc (I want to open/download a file on the click as its href)

This is what I have tried:

echo '        <td rowspan="'.$hello_world.'"><a href="'.$record['INFO']['PATH_FILE'].'"\"'.$record['INFO']['FILE_NAME'].'">'."\n";   // Line A

On inspect, I am seeing in the following format:

"A:\RW\YVR\abc.doc" \""=""

Problem Statement:

I am wondering what changes I need to make at Line A so that I see in the following format "A:\RW\YVR\abc.doc" or in the format in which users can open or download.

The backslash will escape the next character, so you need to escape the backslash by using 2 backslashes

echo '<td rowspan="'.$hello_world.'"><a href="'.$record['INFO']['PATH_FILE'].'\\'.$record['INFO']['FILE_NAME'].'">'."\n";   // Line A
