No, just naive. :-)
Quotes (") and Apostrophes (') are not QUITE the same in PHP.

' has only two (2) special characters: ' and \
" has a lot of special characters, and interpolates variables and

just to add: you can interpolate any dimension of arrays (and objects for that
matter)
as long as you bother to escape the variables with braces inside the string
e.g.
$str = "my {$array['one']['two']['three']} string {$object->prop}
interpolation";
\n only works in " not in '

I feel stupid. In many examples I have seen similar to: echo 'Whatever.\n'; echo 'An other whatever.\n'; But my PHP outputs the \n instead of a new line in the source. I am stupid?
