But that's not good programming. Associative arrays should have the key quoted in order to avoid confusion with contants. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php#language.types.array. donts

Inside of double-quoted strings there is no need to single-quote the array key (in fact it can't be done, gives syntax error). The section of the manual you quoted states this :)

I thought that it could be done like so: $foo = "Entry for {$HTTP_POST_VARS['name']}"; Sorry for butting in, Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
