Well this just makes me mad...

I was writing some code and I found something funny. (example)

[lua]
<?php
echo '$variable';
?>
[/lua]

Doesn't work. It works for printing words, but not variables. I didn't know why.

But here's the strange thing that made me mad.

After about a half an hour trying to figure out what's wrong I just started messing around.

It turns out THIS works...

[lua]
<?php
echo("$post");
?>
[/lua]

Wow...THEY ARE THE SAME THING...

The difference is the type of quotes you're using.

" allows you to put values of variables in a string
' doesn't
