No, just naive. :-) Quotes (") and Apostrophes (') are not QUITE the same in PHP. To some degree, they are VERY different. ' has only two (2) special characters: ' and \ " has a lot of special characters, and interpolates variables and one-dimension arrays.

just to add: you can interpolate any dimension of arrays (and objects for that matter) as long as you bother to escape the variables with braces inside the string e.g. $str = "my {$array['one']['two']['three']} string {$object->prop} interpolation";

\n only works in " not in ' Read this and you'll be WAY ahead of the game: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
