Hi everyone

I'd like to start discussion on a new RFC for arbitrary string
interpolation.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/arbitrary_string_interpolation

Let me know what you think.
That is a cool idea.
But I am not a big fan of having code in strings.
Wouldn’t this open the door to all kinds of new attacks?
Do you have an example of a new kind of attack this would allow?
The proposal doesn't enable interpolation of strings coming from
a database or user input - it only applies to string literals
directly in PHP code.

Personally I'm really looking forward to having this functionality.
Just a couple days ago I wanted to call a function in an interpolated
string, and it was really annoying to have to wrap the function in a
closure in order to use it.

If this RFC is accepted I'd be able to replace code like this:

     $name = "Theodore Brown";
     $strlen = fn(string $string): int => strlen($string);
     echo "{$name} has a length of {$strlen($name)}.";

with

     $name = "Theodore Brown";
     echo "{$name} has a length of {$:strlen($name)}.";


Out of curiosity, why not:
$name = "Theodore Brown";
echo "{$name} has a length of ".strlen($name).".";

or even
$name = "Theodore Brown";
$len = strlen($name);
echo "{$name} has a length of {$len}.";

I guess it's a matter of taste and convention.

Sometime, it make sense and it's just easier to just use string interpolation (for example with multiline templates).

Regards,
