how to append php code in the shortcode in wordpress

I am using the shortcode in the loop inside template file and also using the lightbox form plugin.

<?php query_posts('showposts=9&post_type=packages') ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) :the_post(); ?>
  <?php echo the_post_thumbnail(); ?>          
   ...
    ...
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[formlightbox text='Book Now' title=the_title][contact-form-7      id='383' title='Booking Form'][/formlightbox]"); ?>

 <?php endwhile; ?>

Please note that in the shorcode there is title=the_title and it is not appened to the anchor tag. But when I use title='hello'or something else it gets appended to the anchor tag. I want current post's title should get appened to the rendered anchor tag via shortcode.

please help me

Break the string and use the string concatenation operator to combine the function into your string.

 <?php echo do_shortcode("[formlightbox text='Book Now' title='" . get_the_title() . "'][contact-form-7      id='383' title='Booking Form'][/formlightbox]"); ?>

Update This should use the get_the_title() as opposed to the_title() which echos the title.
