On this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Example 2 says that it will print: My name is "MyName". I am printing some foo. Now I am printing some Bar2. This should print a capital 'A': \x41 When actually it prints: My name is "MyName". I am printing some Foo. Now, I am printing some Bar2. This should print a capital 'A': A (There are 2 differences here: Foo should be capitalized, and \x41 should be printed as A instead.) Example 3 says that it will print: My name is "$name". I am printing some $foo->foo. Now, I am printing some {$foo->bar[1]}. This should not print a capital 'A': \x41 When actually I'm pretty sure that it should print: My name is "$name". I am printing some $foo->foo. Now, I am printing some {$foo->bar[1]}. This should not print a capital 'A': x41 (I have not tested the problem with Example 3 because I only have PHP 5.1. The only error in Example 3 is that there should not be a slash before the x, because there is not one in the example. Alternatively, you could add a slash in the example). Also, in both cases, you are preserving the line breaks, but you should clarify that the line breaks would not be displayed in an HTML context.
