Curly braces {} are sometimes required for PHP to properly parse variables within quoted strings. Good example might be defining variable-variables within a quoted string "${$myvarvar}". However I do not believe that curly braces are required in this particular string.
As for the comma I believe it does the same thing as the period. It will concatonate the quoted string with the output of the htmlspecialchars() function within the echo statement. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "B i g D o g" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP GEN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 4:34 PM Subject: [PHP] Comma question > Tried to check the archive, but it is offline... > > > What does the "," and "{}" do in this type of statement? > > Example: echo "<tr><td>{$strName}</td></tr>", htmlspecialchars( $teststr ); > > Thanks, > > > .: B i g D o g :. > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
