Forgot where exactly (the link should be somewhere on =
http://php.weblogs.com), but there were some tests done recently by =
someone (?) that showed an absolutely irrelevant difference in speed =
changing quotes.
The tests also stressed speed differences in other areas of php where =
different syntax can be used.
DISCLAIMER: I have done my stats studies, andI know tests have to be =
done on different OS, different php.ini etc... to be of any value.
