How do I tell it NOT to call the function, i want to just store
this in a string:

$s = "The result is {getResult(\$foo)}.";
echo $s;

---
The result is {getResult($foo)).

[PHP] Function calls and strings

[Ney André de Mello Zunino]

Hello.

PHP possesses what the manual calls "complex syntax" for allowing one to 
include non-trivial expressions in strings, e.g.:

  $s = "The result is {$results[$foo]}.";

I seek to find out whether PHP also has a syntax to allow function calls 
within a string, so that explicit concatenation is not needed. E.g.:

something like:

  $s = "The result is {getResult($foo)}.";

as opposed to

  $s = "The result is " . getResult($foo) . ".";

If that is not possible, I would appreciate if someone could suggest the 
rationale.

Thank you,
