Not entirely ... 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.
