Description:
------------
Arrays containing strings may be used inline  as thus:
   $vec = array (1=>"foo",2=>"baz");
   echo "$vec[1]";
Fine. However if you use a multidim array instead, you end with the 'Array' reference string. I think the RE that contcatenates text should have better judgement about where a variables key might stop. The issue is present in all the php version I have access to.

Or mabe this was fixed in .9 and I missed the other bug

This is my php version

PHP 4.3.8 (cli) (built: Jul 30 2004 17:08:10)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
Exit 1


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$grid[1][1]= "textstring";
echo "$grid[1][1]"; #this outputs 'Array[1]'
echo $grid[1][1]; #this works
?>


Expected result:
----------------
textstringtextstring

Actual result:
--------------
root@sqee.aeria.net:bin}./php ~/foo.php                               
Array[1]textstring

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If you store arrays inside strings surround them with {} 
ex. echo "{$grid[1][1]}";
