How to you output php in curly brackets

I assume you mean static text rather than PHP code itself?!

Basically you can't, there is nothing built in to PHP that does this. Unless you write some code that handles this for you (which is what a template engine is all about). Is this your intention?

For instance....

<?php 
$template = 'Hello {User_name}, welcome to {PLACE}.'; 
$templateVars = array ( 
  'User_name' => 'Bob', 
  'PLACE' => 'the machine', 
); 
$htm = $template; 
foreach ($templateVars as $name => $value) { 
  $htm = str_replace('{'.$name.'}',$value,$htm); 
} 
echo $htm;

The above outputs "Hello Bob, welcome to the machine."

Failing that, there is the short echo format...

<?='User_name'?>

Basicly want why outputs set on the page

Price I want to output {car_price} make {car_make} etc etc

Since you don't want to write your own template engine, just download the package. It will let you use variables the way you want.
