end variable name in string w/ double quotes

Have I missed something in my years of php or is there no way to do this:

$var = "testString";
echo "$varAndRestOfStringConctd";
// testStringAndRestOfStringConctd

Is there any other way of writing that besides:

echo $var.'AndRestOfStringConctd';

RTM ~ http://php.net/manual/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing.complex

echo "{$var}AndRestOfStringConctd";

An alternative is the often forgotten printf / sprintf functionality

printf('%sAndRestOfStringConctd', $var);

You can put the variable in curly brackets/braces:

$var = "testString";
echo "{$var}AndRestOfStringConctd";

That tells PHP where the variable ends.

Use braces.

echo "${var}AndRestOfStringConctd";
