the {} seperate the variable from the string which can be handy when the
variable does not have a spase after itfor example the following would cause
errors:-
<?PHP
$date = '9';
echo "Today is the $dateth";
?>
The script will be trying to find a variable called $dateth which does not
exist but if you do:-
<?PHP
$date = '9';
echo "Today is the {$date}th";
?>
In this case php now knows that $date is the variable
