Hello!

I see that I can access a superglobal element using the index this
way:

print("<p>$_GET[surname]</p>"); //(element index without any
delimiters within a double-quotation-mark-delimited string)

But not this way:

print("<p>$_GET['surname']</p>"); //(apostroph-delimited element index
within a double-quotation-mark-delimited string)

The latter gives me an error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE,
expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING


Why is that? (I cant understand why PHP gets confused by that)

Is this configurable?

Thanks
Michael
