You can use both single quotation or double quotation.But there is a small difference between single quotation and double quotation.

single quotation

  1. Single quoted strings are the easiest way to specify string.
  2. It is faster than double quotation.

double quotation

  1. Double quotes force PHP to specify the string.
  2. It is less faster than single quotation.

So now in our mind a big confusion come that where to use single quotation and where to use double quotation.

Best example to under stand.

<?php
$a=‘Hello';
echo '$a World’;
