[Resolved] What do the brackets mean : '{$_GET['name']}' ?

[BigBadKev]

Hi all,

I was chopping around a sql string and finally got it working by putting the '{.....}' around the $_GET array, can someone tell me what the brackets are or do as I fluked it.....

$sql_stmt = "SELECT model_id, model_name from model" . 
            "  WHERE manufacturer_man_name = '{$_GET['man_name']}';";

thanks.

BBK 🙂
