Ok, then I honestly don't understand why anyone would rather write this echo "<a href='" . $myURL . "home'>Go home</a>";
instead of this echo "<a href='$myURL/home'>Go home</a>"; IMHO, the second comes more natural to write, is easier to understand at a glance, is less prone to errors and, well, it's shorter!
