Yes, the double-quoted syntax is probably easier to understand in this 
case.  Honestly I never thought about it because single-quoted is what I 
usually use.

That said there may also be a (very slight) performance advantage to 
using the single-quoted version, given the fact that it's executed for 
every member (recursively) of every array affected by magic_quotes_gpc, 
for every page load.
