Umm...that's SQL, not PHP. However, PHP does use curly braces for
things other than blocks of code:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

One thing they can be used for is addressing strings as if they were
arrays. The number inside the {} indicates which character
(zero-indexed) you want to get at. So:

$s = 'Hello';
$s{0} = 'f';
echo $s;

will output 'fello'.
