question about echo

[wil831]

what's the difference between using echo ' ' and echo " "
how come i don't need to put a \ infront of my " when i use echo ' '?

which way is better?

inside single quotes ' nothing will be parsed, so $var won't be
replaced with its content. This one is good for echo'ing larger
html tags, but you need to close and re-open the strings when
using a var

$var = 'hello, ' . $name . ' !';

$var = 'hello, $name !'; //output: hello, $name !

double quotes:

$name = 'max';
$var = "hello, $name !"; // output: hello, max !
