Double quotes can be used like this;
PHP Code:
echo "Hello, my name is $name.";
This most likely, when defined $name, exports Hello, my name is insert_name_here
The same doesn't go for the single quotes although they are a lot easier to use. Since you'll make echo's like this;
PHP Code:
echo '<a href="link.htm">link</a>';
// and of course
$query = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = "'.$name.'"');
Adam would be more qualified to explain it into more depth but those are the basics really. Also, double quotes understand the usages of "\n" (HTML Enter) and "\r" (HTML Tab).
Good luck!
