Good point Dave. But on the wrong side.
By counting all the keystrokes the PHP developers have to type extra
for code like this:
"{{$foo}: {$bar}}"
'{'.$var1.': '.$var2.'}'

Horrendous workaround.

So, yes, there is no escaping for { in PHP and that would be it.

A workaround.

Either your mail client is broken, or you're misquoting him on purpose:
Using this string:
"{$var1: $var2}"
of course it doesn't work as some might expect.
Thanks Chris, I already emailed him on private 'cause I didn't
want to clutter the list unneeded.

Since you can't escape '{', this syntax will only be recognised when

Sorry tg, you missed the whole point. Read again.
The escaping works fine for me.. using the code:
$var1 = 1;
$var2 = 3;
echo "\$var1: $var2";
print "\$var1: $var2";
print ("\$var1: $var2");
All output:
$var1: 3
as expected.
Is there a way to re-define the escape character or something? I
Well Kae, if you reply 3 times let me also reply you once.
What you try to suggest is a workaround. A workaround should
not be needed for such a basic thing. Ever.
The point is, \ should escape only the {, just like
it does when you escape a variable like this "\$var1"
In this case, \ only escape
Using this string:
"{$var1: $var2}"
of course it doesn't work as some might expect.
But why in the name of [whatever, too many to list] doesn't this one
below work?
"\{$var1: $var2}"
If \ is an escape character why does it also appear in the string output?
Why does the above \ escape {$var
