concatenate variable in link php
<p>I wants to concatenate <strong>$today</strong> variable in url and <strong><em>0530&amp;(India Standard Time)</em></strong> string. The url should be like this <code>http://example.com/check?image=true&amp;id=Thu Oct 20 2016 19:29:17 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)</code> after concatenation. Tied my self but still facing the problem. Anyone can help? Thank you</p>

<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;? php

$today = date("D M j Y G:i:s T ");    
 
    echo &lt; img src = '"http://example.com/check?image=true&amp;id=" .$today. "0530&amp;(India Standard Time)"' /&gt;
?&gt;</code></pre>
