I did this tests using error_reporting(E_ALL);
Thats my point, the correct array syntax according the doc:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
is to call $array['value'] even thought $array[value] will work, but in
the later case it should send a NOTICE warning.
well, try this in you system:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$arr = array( 'foo' => 'bar', 'etc' => 'other');
//This will make a Parse Error in PHP 4.1.1:
//echo "Foo value is $arr['foo']";
//This works:
echo "Foo value is ".$arr['foo'];
echo "Foo value is {$arr['foo']}";
//This will work but WON'T send a warning as the doc says:
echo "Foo value is $arr[foo]";
// This will get a parse error
echo "Foo value is $arr['foo']";

Yes, I get you get a NOTICE warning when you use $array[key] (because
key will be an undefined constant and therefore evaluate to a string).
Try with error_reporting(E_ALL); before using this syntax.

Hey man WOW, Im impressed, you have already replied!!!
Yes, this solution works:
$query = "SELECT * from {$table['users']}";
But shouldn't "Blah $table['users']" work as well?
Shouldn't PHP at least send a warning when using "$table[users]" even
if the other "$arr['foo']" syntaxes where wrong?
Thanks!

Use the {$array['key']} syntax as I told you.
However, I can't remember if "foo $array['bar']" ever worked or not
right now. Someone else?

It seems we cannot use the correct syntax $table['users'] inside the
two ""...
This will work:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from ".$table['users']);
This wont work:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from $table['users']");
This will, but should send a warning and it isnt:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from $table[users]");
The errors happens everywere I call any array with the '' or "" like
$table["something"] or $table['something'] inside ""s...
