RE: [PHP] associative array syntax question - got it!

Have you tried using curly brackets? print "<td>$a[B]<td>{$quotes[$a[B]]}<td>" Does that work?

Maxim, I figured it out. Thanks for your help PHP can't interpolate within string when nested associative array is used. the nested aa must be appended with dot notation, and if you try to print it within the outer quotes it balks! print "<td>$a[B]<td>".$quotes[$a[B]]."<td>" ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A B This works, B switched with A won't work though.
