Of course you can -- it's just a string! The difference, as with all
strings, is in whether you want variable names to be interpolated or not.
Consider:
$num = 3;
$array = array('var 3'=>'Interpolated!', 'var $nuum'=>'Not
Interpolated');
echo $array['var $num']; // => Not Interpolated
echo $array["var $num"]; // => Interpolated!
echo $array['var '.$num]; // => Interpolated!
Of course, an arrray subscript can be any expression, so to go to extremes I
could even do something like:
$x = 1;
$y = 2;
$a = 'a';
echo $array['v'.$a."r ".($x+$y)]; // => Interpolated!
Cheers!
