the following script should drop a parser error :
(works on php3 and not on pp4)
$showvar=1;
if (1) {
$thevar="{$showvar}";
};

the following script works :
(work on php4 and php3)
$showvar=1;
if (1) {
$thevar='{'.$showvar.'}';
};

Curly braces have a new meaning in PHP 4.0, they allow you
to reference a 'full featured' variable within quoted strings, e.g.:

print "{$foo["bar"][2*3]}";

If you want to have the two letters {$ inside a quoted string, you must then escape either the { using \:

print "\{$foo}";
