The correct way is to do this:

echo "This is a " . $string . ";

Yes, that is the correct way to do it if you want a parse error.

oops... forgot the end quote. I usually just don't add the dot and the quote at the end if the variable is at the end of the string, but I wanted the OP to see how to include a variable in a string. I was actually going to continue the string, but got lazy.
