RE: [PHP] Single Quote vs. Double Quote..

I personally use single quotes only for the html stuff because: A) I don't have to hold down the shift key to type it and B) I use single quotes in my html, that way I can write stuff in an echo without having to backslash \" the double quotes eg: echo "<img src='image.jpg'>\n"; as opposed to echo "<img src=\"image.jpg\">\n"; I have pulled my hair out many times trying to find missing \'s so I eventually gave up and now use single quotes only in all html. my 2c ;) -- Marko. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
