simple variable question

[junebug]

i am curious as to the difference between:

$var = "double quotes";

and

$var = 'single quotes';

is there any reason to use one over the other?

When you use double quotes, it parses the contents of the string (i.e. you can put a variable within the string like $var = "Var2: $var2"; and the end result will have Var2: (contents of $var2)). When you use the single quotes, it does not parse the string, and the result is faster execution. Hope that helps!
