PHP – concatenate or directly insert variables in string

by

I am wondering, What is the proper way for inserting PHP variables into a string?

This way:

echo "Welcome ".$name."!"

Or this way:

echo "Welcome $name!"

Both of these methods work in my PHP v5.3.5. The latter is shorter and simpler but I’m not sure if the first is better formatting or accepted as more proper.
