Since {} has been advocated for quite some time as the Right Way to access string offsets, basically all PHP books teach that syntax. As such {} is used very frequently. There are vast amounts of code with that syntax. Breaking it deliberately is a very bad idea from my POV. - Sascha On Fri, 18 Nov 2005, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > The PHP 6 stuff is still up in the air.
