I remember from a previous post, the dot operator will create a temporary
string in memory, and then echo that out. The comma operator will just
output as it goes - ie. it doesn't create a temporary string.
As for Lee Doolan's reply:
echo "<tr><td>{$obj->strName[$i]}</td></tr>";
interesting - never thought of doing that, I alway's broke out of the quotes
to do object dereferencing. Should make my future code more readable I
think...

Thanks all for the info...
I figured that the comma was to concatenate but is was wondering if the
parser handled it different.
I knew the {} helped the parser now which was the variable...but i have
never seen it like that...
I have only seen it like ${var}...
Just wondering the difference...
