echo "\"{$search_for_list[$i][0]}\""; will work, btw.

What does the {}around the array mean?

It delimits your variable so PHP knows what to interpret as a variable and what to interpret as a string. $ar[1] = 'foo'; echo "Value is {$ar[1]}"; // Value is foo $ar = 'foo'; echo "Value is {$ar}[1]"; //Value is foo[1] echo "Value is {$ar[1]}"; //Value is f echo "Hello {$name}, you are {$age} years old"; etc... ---John Holmes...

IMHO it's just better to use concatenation and single quotes for your string. PHP doesn't have to parse your strings for variables that way and it makes it obvious what parts are variables. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
