You use them when you want to evaluate non-simple variables (i.e. array
elements) in a double-quoted string, such as:

$a = 'World"; // init variable
$b = array('Hello', 'World');

echo "Hello $a"; // Works - $a is a simple variable
echo "Hello {$a}"; // Also works - and may be clearer

echo "Hello $b[1]"; // Does NOT work - $b is an array
echo "Hello {$b[1]}"; // This one works
echo "{$b[0]} {$b[1]}"; // Also works
