Hello everyone! This is my first post. I am very new to php and mysql and coding in general. It has not been made 100% clear to me as to when I should use single quotes, double quotes, and {}. From what I gather you use single quotes for literal interpretation... so if you put something like a variable in single quotes and echoed it, it would literally echo it as it is written and not the value of the variable. in double quotes, I gather that it will echo the value of the variable. as for {} I am unclear as to when to use the curly brackets for a variable. I am assuming if you had a statement in single quotes and you put a variable in curly brackets you would get the value of the variable?
