PHP *must* parse single-quoted strings to find: \' \\ because those can be embedded in single-quoted strings to indicate apostrophe and backslash. Double-quotes merely increases the number of character-combinations to be checked, not the algorithm to check for them. [Okay, double-quotes *might* require a two-character look-ahead buffer instead of one... But I doubt it.] Show us your query benchmark -- Every benchmark with source / methodology posted is showing the above statement to be WRONG. YOUR benchmark is presented without source, without methodology. If you don't provide those, it's not a benchmark, it's VooDoo. :-) Nobody will (or should) believe it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
