php echo?

Whats the difference between these echo's?

 

<?php
$name = "max";
echo "Hello $name";
?>

 

<?php
$name = "max";
echo "Hello " . $name;
?>

Nothing, because you used double quotes.  In double quotes (""), variables are parsed.  In single quotes (''), you need to concatenate it like you did in the second echo. =)

little example

<?php

$name="redarrow \t";
$member="php freaks";

echo "php phased: my name is $name << this varable was phased using double quotes<br><br>";

echo 'php litral: my name is $name << this varable was echoed becouse i used the single quotes<br><br>';

$x=$name.$member;

echo "php phased catarnation: my name is $x << this varable was phased and caternated using double quotes<br><br>";

?>
