Try to use singe quote instead the double quote. I'm no sure if this is the
same in PHP as is in Perl but in Perl double quote evaluate something but
single quote don't.
Example in Perl:

$name = "nigel";
print "Hallo $name";
>Hallo nigel

$name = "nigel";
print 'Hallo $name';
>Hallo $name

Maybe is some similar in PHP.
