Strings enclosed with ' will not have variables evaluated within them. $name = "John"; Echo "My name is $name"; Echo 'My name is $name"; The first echo will output "John" as the name, the second one will output a literal "$name". ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Any difference between these 2 forms of syntax?
Hi, I am wondering if there is any tangible difference between the following two commands: $x = $foo["status"]; $x = $foo['status']; The part in question being the use of ' or " around the "status" element of the array $foo. Both have the same end result in my case, I'm just purely wondering which is the correct form of syntax to use?
