Hmm..instead use sprintf or concatenate the string its better you
creating variable first.

$date_order = date ("F j, Y");
$dt = "The order was sent $date_order. Please make a note of it";

The concatenate method is faster then other methods but its difficult
to maintain.
The sprintf() function is slowest among this methods.. its better use
sprintf() if you want format complex string.
