What are the potential issues with using double quotes instead of single quotes in PHP strings?

Using double quotes instead of single quotes in PHP strings can cause issues when trying to include variables within the string. PHP will try to interpret variables within double quotes, which can lead to unexpected behavior or errors. To solve this issue, you can either escape the variables using backslashes or use single quotes instead. 

// Using single quotes to avoid issues with variable interpolation
$name = 'John';
echo 'Hello, ' . $name . '!'; // Output: Hello, John!
