Re: how call a variable in a text

The {} only become really useful when you're trying to reference arrays within a string: $var = array('great', 'boring'); $text = "this is {$var[0]}."; Without the curly braces, PHP wouldn't be able to figure out whether you wanted the end string to be 'This is great.' or 'This is [0].' despite the variable itself clearly being an array.

Ehh what? This has never been a problem for me: $text = "this is $var[0]."; However this does give an error (or notice, don't recall, haven't seen the error in quite a while): $text = "this is $var['0']."; In that case the solution is the curly brackets: $text = "this is {$var['0']}."; -- Kind regards Kim Emax - masterminds.dk
