[RESOLVED] variable curly braces?

[webnick]

Hi, I have a basic curly braces problem. What's the best way to get the current directory name and check for a file? Here's what I'm using -

$s = explode("/", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$f = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\{$s[1]}\header\index.php";
$d = 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\siteheader\index.php';
if(is_file($f)) { include($f); }
else { include($d); }

Trouble is, $d becomes "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot{f40carpenters}\header\index.php"

Thanks,

You need to escape the backslashes (e.g. "C:\InetPub\ ...") - these are special characters when used in strings delimited with double quotes. To learn more about the difference between single and double quoted strings, see this man page: [man]string[/man].
