According to the doc :

Variable parsing
When a string is specified in double quotes or with heredoc, variables are parsed within it. 

Testcode :

<html>
<body>
<a href="test.php?MyVar=PHP">Link</a>
<br>
<?php
	if($_GET['MyVar']) { 
		echo "Simple test : $_GET['MyVar']"; 
	}
?>
</body>
</html>

When clicking on the link result :

Link 
Simple test : 


So the $_GET['MyVar'] variable was not parsed within the string. 

Seems to me that this incorrect behaviour...
Or there might be reason to explain this, but then it should be noted in the documentation...?

Greetz,
Nicolas
