From an Array to a Variable

[DavidPr]

$lang = array(
'red'       => 'red',
'green'     => 'green',
'brown'         => 'brown'
);

I've tried these:

$thiscolor = "{$lang['green']}";
$thiscolor = {$lang['green']};
$thiscolor = $lang['green'];

But the variable will not pick up the color. What's wrong?
Thanks

Third option works fine for me. You will need to explain what you mean by "will not pick up the color". Because when I output $thiscolor using line 3, I get the expected output string of 'green'.

Hmmm, you're right...it is working. I must have inadvertently put an apostrophe or something in the actual code and missed it. Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for your help.

No worries, everyone makes mistakes.
