String interpolation in PowerShell for an environment variable

I want to replace the path in this command:

$Env:PHANTOMJS_BIN='D:\michael\software\phantomjs-1.9.7-windows\phantomjs.exe'

With the output of this call:

Split-Path (Get-Command phantomjs).Path

Preferably using string interpolation. How is this possible in PowerShell?

It depends whether you want to replace the variable just for the current session or permanent. Also machine-wide or for the user? Here an example to set the environment variable permanent for the machine:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PHANTOMJS_BIN", (Split-Path (Get-Command phantomjs).Path), [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

What do you mean with string interpolation?
