What is the meaning of curly braces in PHP?
In PHP curly braces are used to explicitly indicate the end of a string.
for example let’s say you have this:
$computer = ‘computer’;
if i write
echo “There are 10 $computers in the room”;
The parser will tell that it does not recognize $computers.
Notice: Undefined variable …
however the parser will be very happy with the following:
echo "There are 10 {$computer}s in the room";

Firefox is so cool. For weeks I kept whining about why Firefox moved the reload button to the right side of the address bar, but little that i know, i could move it to the left by the “back and forth” navigation where it belongs.
To do the same follow these steps:
Right click on your "navigation toolbar" and click on Customize:
Just drag the reload icon/button from one side to the other.

Getting the last inserted ID in PHP(Mysql) is not too bad.
I am assuming that you already have a connection to the database;
echo mysql_insert_id();
or
$result = mysql_query ('SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()');
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row[0];
Here step my step how to solve the issue
Verify the status of your get_magic_quotes_gpc directive
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) echo 'Magic Quotes is enabled'; else echo 'Magic Quotes is disabled'; or check your php.ini via echo phpinfo();
If your magic quotes is ON you will need to use the stripslashes function before you use the mysql_real_escape_string function. Remember both Magic quotes and mysql_real_escape_string add slashes so you do not want to that twice. Some people would say just turn magic quotes off in php.ini, well i prefer not going to my php.ini if i do not have to.
mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['firstname']));
If your magic quote is off you just have to use stripslashes once when you retrieve the data.
