I have the following script for a bing search it receives a request from client and will return a formatted string via ajax... problem I have is using var for reference, can someone provide correct syntax? I want to replace the underlined "Web" with $type

Code:

<?php
$term="bodyguard";
$type="Web";
$count="10";
$ch = curl_init(); 
$timeout = 0; // set to zero for no timeout 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.bing.net/json.aspx?AppId=71D2A914321DB8A271270F748F0F5A3C4B4B4763&Market=en-US&Query=".$term."&Sources=".$type."&".$type.".Count=".$count."&JsonType=raw");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); 
$search = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);
$Response = json_decode($search,true);
    foreach($Response[SearchResponse][Web][Results] as $item){
    echo("        
                            <div class='style4' style='margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em'>".$item[Title]."</div>
                            <div class='style6' style='margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em'>".$item[Description]."</div>
                            <div class='style4' style='margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em'><a href='".$item[Url]."' target='_blank'>".$item[Url]."</a></div>
                        <br>
                    ");
    }echo $Response;
?>
