Bug Type: Arrays related

PHP Version: 4.1.1
New Comment:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I was aware of that syntax but there are some cases
(sql querys, cookies & headers) where it is not possible to write it
that way and the only solution WAS to assign it to a simpler variable.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Thanks. I guess that solves this problem. And this
is documented where?

This is not true. The following is perfectly valid:
echo "My first name is {$var['name']['first']}!";

The correct syntax is:
echo "My first name is ".$var[name][first]."!";
You cannot have comples variables inside quotes.

I should add that the the first level of the array works fine, it is
just the second (& following) levels that cannot be used.
<?php
// This works:
$var[name] = 'Caleb';
echo "I am $var[name]";
// This does not:
$var[name][first] = 'caleb';
echo "I am $var[name][first]";

<?php
$var = array(
'name' => array(
'first' => 'Caleb',
'last' => 'Maclennan'
)
);
echo "My first name is $var[name][first]!";
?>
Acutal Result:
My first name is Array[first]!
Correct Result:
My first name is Caleb!
This get's really nasty when useing 3 dimentional arrays to put data in
SQL querys. The above example can easily be done by takeing the
variable out of the quotes and useing "." to add it to the end, but
there are other cases where the only solution is to do like this:
<?php
$tempVar = $var[name][first];
echo "My name is $tempVar";
?>
