[Resolved] Meaning of "curly braces" {} ??

mourisj

Hello,

I was examinig the scripts used for some PHP gallery (Coppermine).

In some scripts, I found "identifiers" enclosed by curly braces ({}) . So far, I could not find the meaning of this and how it works.

Example:
In some script, a "Heredoc" is being defined. In this heredoc, there are placeholders for URLs, etc. in Hyperlinkks:

$template_main_menu = <<<EOT

Other example:
<html dir="{LANG_DIR}">

There are lots of these in this script.

Can anyone tell me what's it about?

Thanks for your help.

Why dont you check with there documentation but from having a look it looks like Templating Code.

This is indeed used in templates. I did not know so far that there is something called "Templating Systems" in PHP.
I checked my PHP-book for this and finally found a chapter about exactly this kind of coding.

Thanks again
