joining string

I'm new to php and have read the implode statement on php.net but I
guess I still don't understand it. Below is what I have:

$value = implode($disp_cap," - ",substr($value,0,300));

$disp_cap = Office Space
$value = 3,000 sq.ft. located at the intersection of...

I need the $value to join the two so I would get
Office Space - 3,000 sq.ft. located at the...

I get the error:
Warning: Wrong parameter count for implode() in
/home/GQ/public_html/bb/test.php on line 92

Thanks,
Chris

$a = "Hello";
$b = "world";
$c = $a." ".$b;

echo $c;

"Hello World"

Is that what you want to do? Use the . "dot" to concat strings.

I think maybe you want to do this:

$value = $disp_cap." - ".substr($value,0,300);

http://www.php.net/implode

As you can see, implode() does _not_ have three arguments.

I think simple concatenation would be better for what you want to achieve:

$finalString = $disp_cap . " - " . $value;
