PHP Arrays

[Eugene]

[code=php:0]
<?PHP
$somearray = array('one' => '{$somevar}'); returns {$somevar}
$somearray = array('one' => $somevar); returns parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE
$somearray = array('one' => '$somevar'); returns $somevar
?>
[/code]

A little help would be great on why that isn't working. ;D

Hmm... is $somevar set? Your second attempt should be right, but I have to wonder if you may be missing the semicolon in the line above it, though:
[code]
<?php
// Either of these should work:
$somearray = array('one' => $somevar);
$somearray = array('one' => "$somevar");
?>
[/code]

Notice that with [b]double quotes[/b], your variable will be interpreted. Single quotes return the literal characters contained within them.

Niether of them work.

[code]
<?php

$somevar = "this is var";

$somearray = array('one' => $somevar);
print_r($somearray); // outputs: Array ( [one] => this is var )

$somearray = array('one' => "$somevar");
print_r($somearray); // outputs: Array ( [one] => this is var )

?>
[/code]
