With all PHP versions prior to 5.4.0 the output of var_dump() for a simple string was enclosed by double quotes. With 5.4.0 this has changed and the string is now enclosed by single quotes, except the string already contains a single quote Test script: --------------- php -r 'var_dump("Manuel");' Expected result: ---------------- string(6) "Manuel" Actual result: -------------- string(6) 'Manuel' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60358&edit=1
