putting variables in quotes

[james438]

which is better:
$ip=$db;
or

$ip="$db";

Could try processing it yourself http://blog.smileylover.com/calculation-your-php-processing-time-using-simple-counter/ I'm not sure off hand and it seems hard to google

I used the code you linked and found no difference.

This is the best that I could find from php.net on the subject: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

Never use extra steps when you don't need them-- it will take longer.

$x="$y" is VERY inefficient because everything in the quotes must be parsed then converted to a string (from a string variable), then copied.
$x=$y is just copying the value.

makes sense, thanks.
