RE: [PHP] Comma question

I remember from a previous post, the dot operator will create a temporary string in memory, and then echo that out. The comma operator will just output as it goes - ie. it doesn't create a temporary string. As for Lee Doolan's reply: echo "<tr><td>{$obj->strName[$i]}</td></tr>"; interesting - never thought of doing that, I alway's broke out of the quotes to do object dereferencing. Should make my future code more readable I think...

I figured that the comma was to concatenate but is was wondering if the parser handled it different. I knew the {} helped the parser now which was the variable...but i have never seen it like that... I have only seen it like ${var}...
