2 dim Array problems

The following code does not output what is expected "My first name is Bob!"

it does output;
My first name is {Array[first]}!

$var = array(
'name' => array(
'first' => "Bob",
'last' => "Loblaw"
)
);

echo "My first name is {$var[name][first]}!";

That's coz you didn't use quotes:

echo "My first name is {$var['name']['first']}!";

That suggestion actually made things WORSE!

Parse error: parse error, expecting STRING' orNUM_STRING' or `'$'' in ../../public_html/db/test2.php on line 101

FYI, I am working with PHP3....

Any other ideas?

Both of these worked for me!

given the array:

$var = array(
'name' => array(
'first' => "Bob",
'last' => "Loblaw"
)
);

echo "My first name is {$var[name][first]}!";

echo "My first name is ", $var[name][first];

To get this to work I had to assign the variable to another variable & then echo the new variable;

$var = array(
'name' => array(
'first' => "Bob",
'last' => "Loblaw"
)

);

//the new variable is called "$fname"
$fname=$var[name][first];

//then I echo $fname, otherwis the whole thisng fails.

echo "My first name is $fname!<br>";
