How to add the $ character inside my snippet

[joenmarz]

Hi I’m trying to add $ sign inside my snippet so it will be displayed as string like so:

$this->string(${2:length}),]]>

but when I use it by typing the tab trigger, I only get the output without the $ sign showing up:

‘name’ => ->string(length),

The string $this is missing. How can i fix this?

Thanks
