How do you echo {variable} in the brackets?

[JREAM]

Im getting tired of conconcenating(sp)

 

Isnt there a way to do something like this: (I read it in my book in the past I think)

 

print 'my name is {$name} and I like to {$hobby}';

print "my name is {$name} and I like to {$hobby}";

 

Is there a different rule with single versus double quotes?

What am i doing wrong ?

Single quote's do not parse variables inside them, you would need to break out of the string to echo out the variables.

Use double quotes.

 

echo "My name is $myName";

Then if you want to use an array in the string you can use the curly brackets.

 

$array = array("key" => "awesome");

echo "This is {$array['key']}!"; //Will output: This is awesome!
