Re: ' VS "

Hello Jonathan, Not sure on the exact numbers but consider : print "hello, this has one $variable in it yet all is interpreted"; print 'hello, Concatenating is a ' . $another . ' way!'; not sure the exact performance increases but if done a million times it should be noticable. i happen to be mildy anal on this and even seeing stuff like this : $var = "some words"; bothers me. some good basic information on this can be found here : http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php of course this all is preference and depends on the situation as doing this : $var = 'a ' . $b . ' c ' . $d . ' e ' . $f . ' g'; is downright silly. philip On Mon, 29 Jan 2001, Jonathan Sharp wrote: > I read somewhere that when PHP encounters a single quote ' it doesn't parse > the contents for any variables or such...but if it encounters the double > quote " it does.
