If I were to pick one (which is imho a bad idea) it be using "". But, this is not always the case, depends. Now, I believe the bulk of Jan's comment was regarding arrays here, which was: 'string '. $arr['key'] .' blah'; And I believe Goba desires: "string {$arr['key']} blah" And I'm more or less for: "string $arr[key] blah" As it's most readable. But the only problem is outside of strings this creates E_NOTICE as constant 'key' is looked for first and not found, this may confuse some who don't read the foo[bar] part in manual :) But, {} syntax here is php4 specific although not a major deal. *shrugs* Regards, Philip Olson
