I'm getting:

unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE

 

Bull shit! Where?!

echo "<B>Brand:</B> $row['brand']";

[Drummin]

echo "<B>Brand:</B> $row[brand]";

[Freedom-n-Democrazy]

What the hell. It worked! Why?

 

... and thanks man!

You where missing the concatenation operator which joins strings.

 

Is VERY rare that the language is at fault and not the user.

[Freedom-n-Democrazy]

Why does it require them here then?

if ($row['sizes'] == 0) {goto sizem;}

[trq]

Why does what require what?

When echoing array values in a double quoted string, you have two options:

 

1. String concatenation

 

echo "Some string " . $array['key'];

 

2. Using inline curly braces to force interpolation

 

echo "Some string {$array['key']}";

[Freedom-n-Democrazy]

$row['sizes'] <<< ' ' are required in this case. Why?

[trq]

Because strings are surrounded by quotes in PHP.

Actually, I completely misread your first post sorry. I didn't see you had the entire thing within double quotes.

There is actually 3.

echo "some string $array[key]". //without quotes around the key

[KevinM1]

Ah, didn't know that.  I like the first two options better than the third, as they reinforce consistency by keeping single quotes around the key.

Choice #3 would tend to confuse a noob into thinking that he should not put quotes around associative array names at all, thereby causing problems with undefined constant errors, and introducing inconstant use of php variable syntax.
