How can unexpected t-strings in PHP code be prevented?

Unexpected t-strings in PHP code can be prevented by properly escaping any dollar signs that are not intended to be interpreted as variables. This can be done by using single quotes instead of double quotes to enclose the string, or by escaping the dollar sign with a backslash if double quotes are necessary. Additionally, using concatenation instead of interpolation can also help avoid unexpected t-strings. 

// Using single quotes to enclose the string
echo 'This is a $string with a dollar sign';

// Escaping the dollar sign with a backslash
echo "This is a \$string with a dollar sign";

// Using concatenation instead of interpolation
echo 'This is a ' . '$string with a dollar sign';
