I ran into this problem as well, and boy is it annoying.

The following answer applies to both NetBeans 7 and 8:

Within NetBeans: Under the top menu (in NetBeans,) click Tools -> Options
In the pop-up window, go to: Editor -> Code Completion (tab)
Uncheck Use String Auto-Concatenation after Types Break, located at the very bottom

Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Code Completions -> Language: PHP -> Quotes Completion: -> Use Smart Quotes (" and ') Completion.

Almost "Use String Auto-Concatenation after Typed Break" is what i'm after. – gawpertron Jan 07 '14 at 16:07
