codebird中的php变量

Question

I am using codebird to auto tweet to twitter. I am OK with tweeting, as below:

require_once ('src/codebird.php');
\Codebird\Codebird::setConsumerKey('YOURKEY', 'YOURSECRET');

$cb = \Codebird\Codebird::getInstance();
$cb->setToken('YOURTOKEN', 'YOURTOKENSECRET');

$reply = $cb->statuses_update('status=Whohoo, I just tweeted! today is 01/01/14');

How can I add PHP $ variable to the tweet, I tried: (not working)

    $todaydte = gmdate("Y-m-d", time());
$reply = $cb->statuses_update('status=Whohoo, I just tweeted! today is $todaydte');

it is tweeting (Whohoo, I just tweeted! today is $todaydte) !! Please help.

PHP strings documentation

With single quotes you're specifying a string literal, which won't be processed at all by PHP. You could use double quotes and curly braces, or sprintf.
