I have to disagree, and have had very little confusion myself in teaching php. I jsut explain it the way I use it. Use double quotes unless your quoted text is going to contain HTML with quotes; and as a bonus, php will expand variables in double quotes. I completely recognize that the practical effects of the differences are small, but the learning effects of the inconsistencies is much larger, particularly with a group of students that are not techies, not geeks, not computer science or IT students... Well, non-techie non-geeks are going to get very little out of learning to code php and are likely going to end up writing crap code with loverly security holes that bring ebservers to their knees and propagate millions of spam emails. Walk before you run, and all that. PHP is not a good choice as a 'learning' language precisely because it is so flexible. Much better to teach a much more rigid and concise language like obj- c or c++ if you want to teach programming to tyros.

So they naturally want to know-- why the double quotes? And there's no
good logical reason for double quotes in the example-- and there are
languages where the function could take a variable to be interpolated
that DOES need double quotes-- so it is very confusing to them.
But it's quite simple: it's a matter of preference, style, or just
the mood of the programmer. Basically, there is NO difference between
echo substr(abcdef, 1);
echo substr('abcdef', 1);
Oh sure, there is some number of nanoseconds difference in evaluation
time, but that's meaningless as it is an insignificant amount of time
(and takes millions and millions of iterations to make any
perceivable difference).
Use whichever you want. For me, I use mostly, and usually only use
' when I am enclosing 's to save myself having to escape them.

But that is certainly a silly destination to make. Both are
perfectly valid and, in fact, I would argue the latter is better as
it is clearer, cleaner, and shorter.
echo substr('abcdef', 1);
NOT
echo substr(abcdef, 1);
Both are perfectly fine. I'd use the latter myself as I tend to
reserve the single quotes for enclosing strings containing double
quotes, but that's just my preference. I certainly wouldn't deign to
argue that my way was 'correct'.
