[PHP] $name = My $row['name'] not longer possible?

2002-07-02 Thread Uwe Birkenhain 

Hi,
I upgraded to 4.2 and now I get those errormessages
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in ...

when doing sth like:
$name = My $row['name'];

Why?

greetings,
Uwe

You have to wrap array references in curly braces within double quoted strings. Proper 
form is:
$name = My {$row['name']};

Try 

$name = My {$row['name']};

or

$name = My .$row['name'];

AFAIR you can't use array variables straight within strings.

Maybe I'm just about to be proved wrong :)

It is possible to use arrays within strings, just skip ''.
Write
$name=My $name[name];
instead

Hallo Matt,
thank you for the explanation and for the manual-link!

But - correct if I'm wrong - that has been possible before! Or not?

Uwe

Yes, but the manual says that's a feature that may not exist in future versions of 
php.  See this link for details:
