strings and {...}

[Michael G]

Is there something build into php where {0} or {1} means something?

For example,

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = {0} AND col2 = {1};

Umm...that's SQL, not PHP. However, PHP does use curly braces for
things other than blocks of code:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

One thing they can be used for is addressing strings as if they were
arrays. The number inside the {} indicates which character
(zero-indexed) you want to get at. So:

$s = 'Hello';
$s{0} = 'f';
echo $s;

will output 'fello'.

curly braces do have a special meaning inside a string. see php manual
chapter on strings, especially the paragraphs about simple syntax and
complex (curly) syntax.
