making use of php data

Hi
I have a php query against mysql that returns two fields from a delivery database - print and route.
These I can get to display in a table - per attached code.
However I need to be able to manipulate the data - specifically concatanate the two fields (converting the print to string). This is because there is a delivery note in pdf that is made up of these two fields concatanated. ie 'printroute.pdf'. If I can get this I can print the delivery note simply by calling that order .
Can php do this?

Thanks!

  $query = "SELECT print, route FROM DELARCH WHERE orderno = 742695";
  $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query)
            or die ("Couldn't execute query.");
