I've seen this many times, yet I don't know how to do it. Can someone please explain how you can change

Code: Select all

$variable
to

Code: Select all

{variable}
?

Simple: you can't.

The {} notation is used inside strings to denote a variable value. For example:

Code: Select all

$string = "cash";
$cashmoney = "{$string}money";
Also, the {} can denote a particular element of a string.

Code: Select all

$string{2}
will be the "s" in "cash" (you start from 0).

Is there a particular piece of code you're talking about?

No code in particular. I was just wondering, because I've seen it a lot.
