Just do:

myarray['foo'] = "<p>$var</p>"

PHP handles all the parsing for you.

EDIT:

From your comment about the array, you could print the raw contents of the array (not very helpful for an app, but fine for debugging):

myarray['foo'] = "<p>".print_r($var, true)."</p>";

@davidethell it work even if the variable is a an array variable? like $array->var ?

@eng_mazzy, no it won't. It will try to cast $var to a string which will just show the text "Array" for an array. You would have to loop through the array to do something with each array or else use print_r. I edited the answer to show it.

myarray['foo'] = "<p>" . $var . "</p>"

Can't you just do

my_array['foo'] = '<p>'.$var.'</p>';
