Daniel0 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 What do you mean with how many? You delimit a string with either single or double quotes. You pick the one you want. If you want to use that one within the string you'll have to escape it with a backslash. In PHP, double quoted strings have variable interpolation and escape sequences (e.g. \n for newline). Single quoted strings are literal. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/186877-help-with-quote-marks/#findComment-986881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
