Both work, but which is best...

[mike]

Newbie here. Both of these seem to work fine, but is there any reason why
one is better than the other?

$myvar = "cheese";

$biscuits = "I just love $myvar biscuits";
or
$biscuits = "I just love" . $myvar . "biscuits";

print($biscuits );

They're not exactly equal (*) ...


Just use the one you like the best.
The difference isn't noticeable.

.... you missed one other way to do it:

$biscuits = 'I just love ' . $myvar . ' biscuits';


The differences in speed between all of these are nothing compared to
how easy/hard you'll find understanding and changing the code later.


(*)
first ==> I just love cheese biscuits
second ==> I just lovecheesebiscu its
