The only difference to any strings enclosed in ' or " is that strings
enclosed in " may have variables embedded within them. Strings enclosed
with ' will not have variables evaluated within them.
$name = "John";
Echo "My name is $name";
Echo 'My name is $name";
The first echo will output "John" as the name, the second one will
output a literal "$name".
