If you're using PHP3 ;-)

No, it's just more clear. It's the same syntax that other languages use. IMHO the {} syntax is really unneeded.... Per PHP-documentation (http://us3.php.net/types.string) "String access and modification by character Characters within strings may be accessed and modified by specifying the zero-based offset of the desired character after the string in curly braces. Note: For backwards compatibility, you can still use array-brackets for the same purpose. However, this syntax is deprecated as of PHP 4. " -Philippe
