The following code:

$key = "test";
echo str_replace("{$key}", "Replaced", "abc {test} xyz");

produces incorrect output:

abc {Replaced} xyz

where the equivelant code:

echo str_replace("{test}", "Replaced", "abc {test} xyz");

produces the correct output:

abc Replaced xyz

this, though it may not be deemed as the most intuitive behavior, is the intended one. 

$a = array( 'aa' , 'bb' , 'cc' ) ;
echo str_replace("{$a[1]}", "Replaced", "abc {aa} xyz");

will produce "abc {Replaced} xyz", whereas 
echo str_replace("$a[1]", "Replaced", "abc {aa} xyz");
would produce a parse error. 

escape the braces.
