PHP static variables in double quotes

Question

How can I get PHP to evaluate a static variable in double quotes?

I want to do something like this:

log("self::$CLASS $METHOD entering");

I know this is an old question but I find it odd that noone has suggested the [sprintf][1] function yet.

say:

you would use it with:

echo sprintf( '$a value is %s', Foo::$a );

so on your example its:

log(
    sprintf ( ' %s $METHOD entering', self::$CLASS )
);
