A couple of days ago I placed a post regarding using the $_POST[]
variable in an insert sql query. Both
$sql="insert into $table set Name = '".$_POST['elementName']."'";
and
$sql="insert into $table set Name = '{$_POST['elementName']}'";
worked perfectly. Thanks to everyone for your help. My question now is
regarding the curly brackets in the 2nd example. Can anyone describe
why using the curly brackets works and/or how php processes them. I
have read quite a bit about php and never come accross thier use in this
way. Thanks again.
