Embedding Complex Variables
Lab: PHP String Building and Processing Basics
Video Runtime: 13:37
In the last episode, I had you wrap the embedded variable within curly braces. Why? Readability. Yes, you can omit the curly braces with a simple variable embed. However, to me, it’s less readable. Therefore, I advocate always using the curly braces like this:
"My name is {$first_name}."
How do you embed an element from an associative array or object? These embeds are known as complex variables. For these, you must wrap the variable within curly braces. In this episode, you will walk through embedding an associative array element within a string.
There’s a time to code and …. yup, that sums it up.
