Php - What does this code mean?

Question

I have the following code

$arr =  array(
     'media[]'  => "@{$image};type=image/jpeg;filename={$image}"
);

I do not know what line 2 means. What do the [], @ and {} stand for?

UPDATE:

Used to upload images to Twitter. I need to implement the same in Lua. Hence this question.

$arr =  array(
     'media[]'  => "@{$image};type=image/jpeg;filename={$image}",
);

is just like

$arr =  array(
     'media[]'  => "@".$image.";type=image/jpeg;filename=".$image,
);

See the PHP manual for what the curly brackets ({}) mean in double-quoted strings.

And for "[]" and "@" they are just normal strings.

Oh? I thought the `@` has some significance in Lua like in Objective-c. Is the `@` just part of the string then? – SatheeshJM Jun 27 '12 at 05:15
