but now the "\" char is displayed.


'../configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share/php5' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--sysconfdir=/etc/php5/apache2' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/php5/apache2' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php5/conf.d' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib64/php5/bin' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-session' '--with-mm' '--with-pcre-regex' '--enable-xml' '--enable-simplexml' '--enable-spl' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-debug' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-zend-multibyte' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--disable-all'

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

This is expected behaviour, {} is no longer special, they are being treated like any other character.

This fixes a consistency bug found in older releases.

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.

"Before PHP 5.1.1, backslash in \{$var} hasn't been printed."

"(Use "{\$" to get a literal "{$")."
