Re: Re: Miserable escape string problem

This is especially helpful for situations like this, where the rest of the string interferes with syntax. A more common example is when a variable name is immediately followed by an alphabetic character: <?php $animal = 'cat'; $string = "I like $animals." ?> When you try this, PHP thinks $animals is the name of the variable. If you want to be clear that the name of the variable is $animal, you can use braces: $string = "I like {$animal}s."; So, I don't consider this a workaround. It's clean, intuitive syntax for exactly these types of scenarios. Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/
