double vs single quotes about code-guide HOT 4 CLOSED

Why couldn't you simply solve this in your PHP using single quotes?

echo '<a href="$href">';

from code-guide.

PHP doesn't allow variables inside single quotes and treats them as literals.

 $href = "foo";
 echo '<a href="$href">'; // outputs <a href="$href">
 echo "<a href='$href'>"; // outputs <a href='foo'>

This is a very common idiom in PHP.

This is an HTML and CSS code guide, so it doesn't take any other programming language into account for the most part. That sounds like a pretty shitty limitation on PHP's part though 😆.
