php - bloginfo() executing out of order? -

i have following code in wordpress header.php file. printing dynamic title in html:

<title>     <?php if (is_page_template('page-home.php')){     echo 'home - ' .      bloginfo('name');     } </title>

the rendered html looks this:

<title>my cool bloghome - </title>

i believe should this:

<title>home - cool blog</title>

my question is: why echo , bloginfo() execution seem reversed? echoed text seems printing after bloginfo().

try using get_bloginfo instead.

bloginfo() runs, , echos out when it's called. get_bloginfo() returns value, can include in echo statement.

currently, bloginfo printing out value out it's called; echo statement echoed out.
