Within a quoted string, you can surround variable names with braces for
clarity. This is especially helpful for situations like this, where the
rest of the string interferes with syntax.
A more common example is when a variable name is immediately followed by
an alphabetic character:
<?php
$animal = 'cat';
$string = "I like $animals."
?>
When you try this, PHP thinks $animals is the name of the variable. If
you want to be clear that the name of the variable is $animal, you can
use braces:
$string = "I like {$animal}s.";
So, I don't consider this a workaround. It's clean, intuitive syntax for
exactly these types of scenarios.
Hope that helps.
