/* More complex example, with variables. */
class foo
{
var $foo;
var $bar;
function __construct()
{
$this->foo = 'Foo';
$this->bar = array('Bar1', 'Bar2', 'Bar3');
}
}
$foo = new foo();
$name = 'MyName';
echo <<<EOT
My name is "$name". I am printing some $foo->foo.
Now, I am printing some {$foo->bar[1]}.
This should print a capital 'A': \x41

You could also use strtr:
$template = '$who likes $what';
$vars = array(
'$who' => 'tim',
'$what' => 'kung pao',
);
echo strtr($template, $vars);
Outputs:
tim likes kung paosprintf('a %s string with placeholder %s %s %s', $var, ...$array);
// n additional variables can be passed to sprintf function, or can be passed in an array using the spread opperator in PHP 8.2+
Double Quotes:
"variable {$var} is inline, inside double quotes"
Single Quotes:
'Variable is appended using dots ' . $var . ' to the string.';
