Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between double quotes and single quotes? Cheers,

What's up Rory... actually there *is* a difference. Double quotes are parsed by the php engine, meaning it goes through and finds variables and stuff which it can parse, ex. print("Here is a variable: $variable!"); will print "Here is a variable: The value of the variable!"


Single quotes are not parsed by the php engine, so the same code with single quotes (print('Here is a variable: $variable!'); will return "Here is a variable: $variable!" I hope that answeres your question
