PHP question, " ' - what is the difference?

[ben22]

Hi,

I was wondering whether someone knows a good php forum to exchange with other developers.


Also one question. I read a tutorial and sometimes the author is using ' - sometimes ".

What is the difference?

Example:

if(isset($_GET['section']) AND ("admin" == $_GET['section'])) {
session_start(); }


if(isset($_GET['section']) AND ('admin' == $_GET['section'])) {
session_start(); }

Strings in double quotes do variable substitution.

just out of interest what does that mean? i didnt think there was a difference...

$bestforummember = "LaRoza";

echo "$bestforummember is the best\n";

echo '$bestforummember is the best';


Output:


LaRoza is the best
$bestforummember is the best

Also, the \n indicating a newline and similar characters only work with double quotes. I generally use double quotes unless there's a reason not to.
