BTW...
Can anybody tell me where the words
foo and bar
come from?

I had heard someone on the list say that it's always best to use quotes,
for the same rea
foo['bar'];
Unless the array key (or any other kind of key, like these in functions or
in SQL statements) is an integer you should insert it between quotes.
Let's say that stings should be treated as 'strings' and integers can be
treated as integers.

This is the correct format:
>doWhatSoEver($foo['bar']);
If your error reporting level is set high enough, php will complain about
$foo[bar] unless you have defined bar as a constant elsewhere.
