How can single quotes be used in PHP echo statements to avoid the need for escaping characters?

When using single quotes in PHP echo statements, you can avoid the need for escaping characters by enclosing the string within double quotes instead. This way, you can freely use single quotes within the string without worrying about escaping them. Alternatively, you can concatenate the single quotes within the echo statement using the period (.) operator. 

// Using double quotes to avoid escaping characters
echo "I'm using single quotes without escaping: 'Hello World'";

// Concatenating single quotes within the echo statement
echo 'I\'m using single quotes with escaping: ' . "'Hello World'";
