Note Submitter: leo at indeedle dot com ---- Just fixing up bhsmither at gmail.com's example. If you want to refer to an array with a named key inside a string, use the {} brackets. <?php $foo['ten'] = 10; // $foo['ten'] is an array holding an integer at key "ten" $str = "{$foo['ten']}"; // Now works fine, $str now holds a string with the value of 10 ?> This is useful when you want to include a array value inside a string without joining multiple timesg. Eg: <?php echo "There once was a man who had {$foo['ten']} geese."; ?>
