Hi, I was just wondering what the difference/advantage of these two methods of writing a string are: 1) $string = "foo{$bar}"; 2) $string = 'foo'.$bar; I always use method 2 but have been noticing method 1 more and more in source code. Is this just user preference? I would use a generic search engine but not sure what the first method is called so don't know where to begin my search. Thanks for any help.
