Is there a CDATA/qq equivalent for PHP?

[Jaxel]

CDATA in XML is basically an enclosure tag (like quote or double quote), except that it tells the parser not to parse anything within the enclosure. I come from a PERL background, and in perl I use something very similar with the qq()pp quote like operators.

Now I'm wondering if there is some sort of equivalent in PHP?

$dm->set('svcThumb', "preg_match('/[\w+%.-]*'.\$feed['serviceVAL'].'([\w]*)[\w+%.-]*/i',\$arr['ROW']['embed'],\$match);\$thu='http://img1.megavideo.com/'.\$match[1].'.jpg';");

With the code above in PHP, you can see that I have to comment out a lot of things to get it to read. I would prefer not to have to do that. Is there any solution?
