I just have it as a rule of thumb that if it's not valid code with nothing around it, I shouldn't expect it to be valid inside curly braces (excluding the semicolon of course). Pretty much what Andrea said ... <?php array['foo']; ?> is a syntax error, so I don't expect ${array['foo']} to be valid either. In fact, I just checked and it's not: http://3v4l.org/B6kdv echo "${array['foo']}"; probably works only because of how variables are parsed inside double quotes. Cheers, Andrey.
