The braces ensure that PHP doesn't stop parsing the variable name once it
reaches the [. By default, it will only match a variable name up to the [
sign, so you couldn't access arrays without the braces.

Ash:
Ahhh, the arrays -- I should have looked further up.
I just noticed:
<b>\$somevar</b>: {$somevar}<br />
and wondered why, because:
<b>\$somevar</b>: $somevar<br />
will work.
Side note: Paul Novitski showed me using an underscore for heredocs:
$html =<<<_
whatever
_;
That I thought was kind of neat. To me it makes heredocs stand out
and are more uniform.
In any event, thanks,
