I always go with this:
"Select Netid from Users where Netid = '{$_SESSION[phpCAS][user]}'"
The curly braces allow PHP to use the full variable you intended. Note
that you may need single quote marks around the text in each square
bracket block or PHP my give you a warning about an unintended string
literal.
