Thank you for the quick replies. I thought method 2 must be faster
because it doesn't have to search for variables in the string.
So what is the advantages then of method 1 over 3, do the curly braces
mean anything?
1) $string = "foo{$bar}";
2) $string = 'foo'.$bar;
3) $string = "foo$bar";
I must admit reading method 1 is easier, but writing method 2 is
quicker, is that the only purpose the curly braces serve?
