Is this a new language construct in php?

Is it the same as $object->array('var')?

If yes,

that means, can i substitute this

$object->array('var', 'test', 'one')


WITH

$object->{'var', 'test', 'one'}

If yes, it's so cool.

I dont think so. $object->{'var'} should be the same as $object->var

Test it out.

I find that the best way of finding stuff out.

print_r($val) gives a good peice of information about an array if it is.

You're right. It's a var.
Funny. Then why some website use that syntax...

$foo = 'bar';
$Tar->{$foo . '_string'}()

would execute the function "bar_string" in class $Tar. I think the construct was added in php 4.

yes ZiDev, as used with the dir() function. The single arrow executes a command for that function.
$dir = dir("./");
$cont = $dir->read();
