Yeah, the curly braces work great. I was at first doing a "where id = " . $_SESSION['id'], $db); but I like the curly braces better.

I like the curly braces too, but there's one time when they DON'T work: for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) { echo "<li>{$_POST["name{$i}output"]}</li>\n"; } If you use this technique, which is a workable but probably bad way to write a program, you need to use braces to distinguish the counter ($i) from the rest of the variable name, and thus you can't use the curly braces around the entire variable.
