How to insert php variable inside a double quoted php string

Question

How can I insert a php variable inside my html string? I tried to do it like this, but it won't run. Please refer to the code below.

<?php 
  $a['id'] = 1;
  $html .= '<a href="{$a['id']}">Link</a>';
?>

Fix the typos. Concatenate variable, or use double quotes and escape the ones for attribute encapsulation. — chris85, May 03 '16 at 02:23
Above is just an example. What if I wanted to `echo` that variable inside a double coated string. @Dagon — claudios, May 03 '16 at 02:24

Coz sometimes using search engine leads us to many options and sometimes incorrect answers. That's why I use stackoverflow to receive direct help from professionals. But I know your point too. Thanks — claudios, May 03 '16 at 02:31

You missed out the closing '. Also, you need to concat them using the PHP concatenation operator . to join the string with the variable:

$a['id'] = 1;
$html .= '<a href="' . $a['id'] . '">Link</a>';
