Note Submitter: skippy zuavra net ---- The short version for the curly syntax: 1. $str{something} is the equivalent of $str[something] 2. Inside "" strings you can use any variable, no matter how complex the addressing mode (multiple index array, imbricated objects) by enclosing the variable in {}: "foo{$any_variable}bar". To add to the confusion: a) The two uses above have nothing in common, conceptually. For instance, #1 can use operations or functions as that something, #2 is restricted to just variables. b) In #2, you can use either ${ or {$ to open the curly expression ie. "${var}" and "{$var}" are equivalent.
