When using arrays in strings, things are done a little differently:
print "a $arr[key] string";
print "a {$arr['key']} string";
print "a " . $arr['key'] . " string";
Be sure to always surround keys with quotes outside of strings
otherwise PHP looks for a CONSTANT named key first, instead.
define ('a','b');
$arr = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana');
print $arr[a]; // banana
print "$arr[a]"; // apple
print $arr['a']; // apple
