I don't agree on the phrase 'preferred format'. As far as I recall the new syntax was introduced to ease the job of the preparser. Even if the preparser isn't in common use right now, the newer syntax is faster. In my opinion we should start advertising the new syntax as the prefered one, even if we support the old syntax forever. As to what works an what not: $array['one'] = "test" $array['one']['two'] = "test" $object->one = "test" $object->one->two = "test" $array['object']->one = "test" $object->array['one'] = "test" working: &(array.one); &(array[one]); &(object.one); &(object->one); not working: &(array.one.two); &(array[one][two]); &(object.one.two); &(object->one->two); &(array.object.one); &(array[object]->one); &(object.array.one); &(object->array[one]); So, the newer syntax supports the same scope of variables the old syntax does. I personally think it is a shame that neither syntax supports multi-dimensional variables, but that is a different issue. wkr, -- Envida http://www.envida.net/ Armand A.
