[Guilherme Blanco]

There are 3 types of quotes.

$var = 'test';

Single quotes: Not parsed by PHP compiler...

echo 'Some $var'; // Will print: Some $var

Double quotes: Parsed by compiler...

echo "Some $var"; // Will print: Some test

Backtick: Processed by console

echo `ps -aux`; // Will print running processes



I hope this info helps you...


Regards,
