Well, it is indeed, and it's triggered by the fact that there's no full parsing of PHP code inside {}'s. Because 'var' is a keyword, you get this behavior. There might be a way out here, but I doubt it'll be easily doable. You're best off changing your variable's name to a non-keyword, or generate a proper string expression by changing it to be "var" instead of var.
