how do i parse an array element within double-quotes

Is there more elegant way of escaping array elements:

mysql_开发者_开发技巧query("SELECT * from mytable WHERE name = '".$someArray['somename']."'");

Something more like

mysql_query("SELECT * from mytable WHERE name = '$myname'");

So avoiding the annoying '". ."'"

You can use:

mysql_query("SELECT * from mytable WHERE name = '{$someArray['somename']}'");

You can actually do:

mysql_query("SELECT * from mytable WHERE name = '{$foo[bar]}'");

But I would advise against it or any other parsed string, it's slower than concatenation and is much harder to read in some IDEs.

$myname = $someArray['somename'];
mysql_query("SELECT * from mytable WHERE name = '$myname'");
