I'm sorry but I find it very difficult to understand your question and
I'm sure I'm not the only one. You've mentioned three fairly unrelated
pieces of info and it's not clear how they relate each other:
1. String concatenation
2. Curl
3. Writing a parser
My educated guess is that you are scrapping a third-party site and you
want to write a custom HTML parser to extract information but I'm not
sure that makes sense. Parsing HTML is *very* hard. Even PHP gurus use
some of the built-in parsers rather than writing their own.
Let's analyse the information provided:
> the target URL: http://www.schulministerium.nrw.de/BP/SchuleSuchen?action=572.8745475728288

> Results: approx 6400 results

What's this? Is it site you are building? Is it the third-party site
you're scrapping? Is it something entirely different?

Curl is an HTTP library; I don't think it provides string manipulation
functions. What you do you want to do exactly?

If PHP, as Michael Fesser pointed out, you use the string concatenation
operator:
http://es.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php
> function get_page_data($url) {
> $ch = curl_init();
> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
> $output = curl_exec($ch);
> if($output!=false&& $_POST['dt']=='No')
> return $output;
> curl_close($ch);
> }
This uncommented function appears to download a remote file and return
it as string. Is it failing or something?
> for($i=1;$i<=$match[1];$i++)
You are looping something. We don't know what.

> if($data) {

> return = stip_tags($cleaned, '<table><tr><td><div>');
This exists the loop as soon as a download succeeds. Is that what you
intended?

Again, what are you doing and what's the question?
