I personally have not unfortunately. A good friend of mine is also a developer who initially told me about it when I first began coding. Because I don't want to stick with the he-said, she-said approach, I did a quick google search and came up with this link: http://spindrop.us/2007/03/03/php-double-versus-single-quotes/ There's several other pages saying similar things if you do look around. Even the performance different isn't significant, it will add up. If something like this is known to help ever so slightly with execution time and it's something you can teach yourself to do subconsciously, then I feel it's definitely worthwhile to pursue.

This may or may not help, but here's a few things to note: 1) I would avoid placing variable output in double quoted strings. While not important for smaller scripts, doing a large number of outputs like this causes a decent performance hit. In fact, I wouldn't use double quotes ever in php. Instead, strive for something like: echo '<b><a href="test.php?term='.$letter_value.'">'.$letter_value.' &nbsp;</a></b>';

Have you benchmarked this, or can you provide a link to others' benchmarks demonstrating this perofmrnace hit?... -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?

Check out this page I just created using the example from the link that you provided.

I have grown off what the above examples page. it takes a few seconds to load, so be patient. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/speed_variables.php -- Enjoy, Jim Lucas Different eyes see different things.
