He stated in the top part of the tutorial about the hosting.
| Quote: | Unlike HTML, you CANNOT just open this with FireFox.
You will need to upload it to the host like ( http://www.x10hosting.com/ ) or something similar! |

First you right it in notepad, then you click "Save As" then file.php or whatever you want...
Usuall in Windows you have to do an extra step... i forget what it is... you want an index.php file... not an index.php.txt file

To be completely serious, i do not know the difference, but in most cases they are interchangeable... and for good reasons too...
you can do echo "John said "hey""; so you could do echo "John said 'hey'"; to correct it... so basically what im trying to say, you cant open another " quote " before you close the first one!

do me a favor. if theres no differences than try to put a variable in a ' ' single line quote mark (dont know the name lol  ) it will have no effect
only use " if you are doing something more than simply outputting text. otherwise your page load times will be slower. that is how it was explained to me. look in my sticky for phpvideotutorials.com or something like that a great place to start for php

You achieve the same effect using " " vs. ' ', except that if you use " " to embrace a full string, you cannot freely use them in the string as well. You will have to 'escape' them first. For example:
| Code: | | $string = "This would cause an error since I have " in the middle of the sentence."; |
The correct way to write that would be:
| Code: | | $string = "This will not cause and error having \" in the middle of the sentence."; |
But, if you use ' ' to embrace the main string, you can use " freely. For example:
| Code: | | $string = 'This is my string using " within the sentence freely.'; |
Keep in mind this works in the reverse as well. If you embrace a string using a single quote, you cannot use a single quote in the sentence freely. You will need to escape it as well.

| Code: |
<?php
$dog = 'i told you so';
echo "$dog"."<br />";
echo '$dog';
?>

just run it and you will see what i was talking about.
