String Interpolation

[marain]

This works:

echo $quotations [4];
echo "<br />";
echo $quotations [5];
echo "<br />";
echo "The PHP End";


This doesn't:

echo "$quotations [4] <br /><br /> $quotations [5] <br /><br />";



Am I misunderstanding string interpolation?

echo "$quotations [4] <br /><br /> $quotations [5] <br /><br />"; 

PHP doesn't realize that the indices are part of the variables - it thinks they're part of the string.
You can resolve the ambiguity by using brackets:

echo "{$quotations[4]}<br>{$quotations[5]}<br>"; 

(Incidentally, see how you can tell what's wrong by looking at the colors in the code highlighting? When you code, use an editor that does that. very helpful.)
