I've never found a reason to use double quotes yet.. have you?

Some people like to do

PHP Code:


			
$foo = "Welcome, {$bar}.";

However if you have ever bench-marked the concatenation speed of that, and compare it to the speed of

PHP Code:


			
$foo = 'Welcome, ' . $bar;

You will find that the single-quote concatenation is faster
