How does enclosing special characters like ';' within double quotes affect PHP file writing?

Enclosing special characters like ';' within double quotes in PHP file writing can cause issues because PHP interprets these characters as part of the string itself rather than as code. To solve this issue, you can use single quotes instead of double quotes to ensure that special characters are not interpreted incorrectly. 

$file = fopen("example.txt", "w");
fwrite($file, 'This is a line of text; with a semicolon');
fclose($file);
