[FX.php List] Stumbled on something I hadn't realized...

[Andy Gaunt]

Where you deal with an array such as $_POST, $_GET, $_SESSION or one  
you create you can wrap those in curly quotes inside your doubles to  
avoid extra concatenation.

eg:

"The first name is {$_POST['nameFirst'] } and the last name etc";

Also, if you are typing a lot of HTML code within the quotes with  
variables included, you may want to look into HEREDOC as then double  
quotes do not need to be escaped for your HTML or switched out for  
single quotes.

$code = <<<EOD
<p class="primary">Hello $firstName</p>
<p>You posted {$_POST['details']} to our form</p>
<p>Your email is $email</p>
EOD;

echo $code;

Cheers
