Either your mail client is broken, or you're misquoting him on purpose: Using this string: "{$var1: $var2}" ....of course it doesn't work as some might expect. To address the original question, a backslash does not escape the brace. Are you wanting the variables to be evaluated? Here's an example that demonstrates both: <?php $foo = '123'; $bar = '456'; echo "{{$foo}: {$bar}}"; echo '{$foo: $bar}'; ?> Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/
