Note Submitter: mcamiano at ncsu dot edu ---- Regarding the lack of complex expression interpolation, just assign an identity function to a variable and call it: function id($arg) { return $arg; } $expr = id; echo "Field is: {$expr( "1 ". ucfirst('whatzit')) }"; It is slower due to an additional function call, but it does avoid the assignment of a one-shot temporary variable. When there are a lot of very simple value transformations made just for display purposes, it can de-clutter code.
