RE: [PHP] echo string conatining ; or "

Just to add: I also used double quotes for a LONG time, until I came across that article on Zend, The fun thing is that it is not only _easier_ to output HTML staff but single quotes are also faster (I tested it myself). This is due the fact that the 'string' is not parsed for variables by parser while "string" does. PS: if you sometimes happen to generate a PHP page with PHP ( cloning ) then, yeah, man ... single quote will be some kind of RED CROSS for you.
