Where do I find definition of use of curly brackets?

[lwoods]

In PHP you can do this:

$x="test";
$y=$x{2};
echo $y;

....will display "s".

Where in the PHP doc is this type of behavior for "curly brackets" defined?

TIA,

Try:

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

Search for: "Complex (curly) syntax", it's about 1/4 of the way into the
page.

Look up array. You asked for the value of element 2. So

T E S T
0 1 2 3

Not sure of where in the docs this is. They are searchable
