php equiv of perl string "foo @{[function()]} bar"; ?

Anybody know if php has some type of equiv construct or function like interpolating a function in string in perl. eg: print "foo @{[localtime()]} bar"; OR print "foo ${|($var+6)} bar"; While it doesn't make much sense in the above context ... sometimes you have a rather large string block echo "<--50 lines -->" and don't really want to stop and do a echo "38lines"; funciton(); echo"5 lines"; function();echo"7 lines"; etc etc. Cheers, -Peter ################################## Peter Thoenen - Systems Programmer Commercial Communications Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo ################################## "Stumbled Upon"...heh (Score:5, Funny) /. by $carab on 23:00 23 August 2002 (#4131637) "ForensicTec officials said they stumbled upon the military networks about two months ago, while checking on network security for a private-sector client."
