Re: [PHP] how call a variable in a text

[Thodoris]

Erm, the braces are meant to go *around* the variable, not around a 
bit of it:

print "Test: {$var[0][0]}";

In many cases braces can go around the variable name not the necessarily 
around the whole variable (like the bash scripts). Those are coming from 
the manual:

<?php
${date("M")} = "Worked";
echo ${date("M")};
?>

function test() {
   // NULL -- not what initially expected
   $string = '_POST';
   var_dump(${$string});

   // Works as expected
   var_dump(${'_POST'});

   // Works as expected
   global ${$string};
   var_dump(${$string});

}

So no they are not meant to go around. You can use them this way as well.
