Print constant embedded in string?

In PHP you can print a variable easily with:

print "var = $var";

But is there a way to print a constant the same way? For example:

define("CONSTVAL", 100);

print "VAL=CONSTVAL";

will print "VAL=CONSTVAL" of course, and not 100. So for now I'm doing:

print "VAL=";
print CONSTVAL;

Is there a way to do it "inline" like you can with a variable?

thx

Not within the quotes, but you can combine the two print statements into
one like so:

print 'VAL=' . CONSTVAL;
