Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #4432: parse error From: Zeev Suraski (zeev <email protected>)
Date: 05/12/00

PHP 4.0 parses "{$var_expr}" as $var_expr (e.g., {$foo["bar"]}), to allow
full variable reference, including multiple dimension arrays and objects,
inside quoted strings.

If you write {$var, $var}, PHP 4.0 will barf because it doesn't expect a ,
inside the variable expression. Thus, you need to escape it:

\{$var, $var}
