Re: increasing performance by using single-quotes

2004-12-20 13:44:11
Toen wij Robert Allerstorfer kietelden, kwam er dit uit:

just wanted to note that we have to be careful when using
single-quotes [...] the backslash would be ignored as
escaping character and as line continuation symbol.

Specific behaviour, that can also be used to ones advantage.


In that cases,
single-quotes must not be used.

Another one: if you need a single-quote in the value.


So we could summarise, using double-quotes is safe but may have a
performance disadvantage and using single-quotes is fast but may not
work as expected if we use it without care.

Why the Pluralis Majestatis? ;)
