Many many programmers are still confused with the single quotation(”) and double quotation(“”) ..

<?php
$name = ' ram';
echo $name; //ram
echo 'my name is $name'; // output is: my name is $name
echo "my name is $name"; // Output is :my name is ram
?>

Did you get it very simple single quotation treates every character as pure string. So be carful when you are echoing the string with variable.

single quote '' and double ""
