In PHP, you can have it either way. It is often convenient to put
variables inside strings. If you want to do a string literal, use
single quotes. It's also faster that way, as it will not search for
$'s.
Can't we all just get along? :)

Of course. This is PHP, not C, C++, or Java.

Actually, you'd be better off with single quotes, as I mentioned above.
Alternatively, try this:
"../folder/navfile_${variableA}_${variableB}.inc"
PHP will parse that the way it was intended.
