I would assume your 2 examples to be the same because the point is that the PHP interpreter must parse for vars to substitute when it encounters double-quotes whether there are any vars in it or not. With single-quotes the interpreter does not have to worry about it. Regardless, the speed diff is probably negligible, hence my flame inviting post. :-) -Shawn

-Shawn: The time difference is not the reason why I use single and double quotes. I do it for two reasons: 1) It's good coding practice to know what's happening in the background and consider it; 2) If I use a single quote, then I know that statement does not contain a variable -- it's a form of documentation for me.
