Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

RTFM about the difference between double and single quotes.

"RTFM" is not a professional way to reply to something like this.

It stands for Read the F*#(ing Manual, or at least implies that. I don't know if you meant it that way or not, but that's how it came across.
