I was just under the impression that the use of {} when referring to a variable inside the "" was "proper", and was the way it "should" be done, not that it "HAD" to be done that way... even back in 92 when I started HTML programming, I was taught that elements and attributes should be in lower case, attributes should be within ""... and when i started using PHP, I would always use "" and when referencing a variable, "text ". $var ." more text" was the way I did it, and then i read somewhere that variable inside "" to avoid any potential issues, should be enclosed with {}. Granted, it works without using them (for 99% of things), but as my personal preference, that is the way i do it, and was under the impression that it should be used in that manner, to avoid deprecation. Now, to end my run on and on and on sentence... it was just something I have always done, just like the code formatting i follow (which i wont get into, cuz that will prolly start another huge long thread too :P) -- As for the OP's question, I don't think it really matters which one you use, it would boil down to which one makes more sense to you when you read it later and try to figure out why you did it the way you did :) (documentation is essential for deciphering code the next day) If you're worried about I/O processes, and have to constrain yourself to using 1 or 2 more I/O processes, then you should do a lot of benchmarking to determine for yourself which is more efficient on your hardware. again, just my $0.02.
