Description:
------------
To continue http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52897 which remains closed,
the new documentation text - "Any scalar variable, array variable or object property with a string representation can be included via this syntax." - does not indicate that the complex syntax allows accessing elements of array variables ({$arr['bar]}).

DOC : "Any scalar variable, >>>array variable<<< or object property with a string representation".

YOU : "does not indicate that the complex syntax allows accessing elements of >>>array variable<<<s"

The documentation indicates array variables can be included. The problem is it does not indicate the possibility to include ******ELEMENTS OF****** array variables.

Aha! Actually "array variables" cannot be include as such. Doing so would output 
"Array".

But " Any scalar variable, array element or object property" certainly makes more 
sense.

Thank you.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
