PHP Version: 5.4.33 OS: Centos
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I have found that single quotes are behaving different than double quotes on escaped new lines. I have tested this in 5.4.32 and 5.4.18.  Forgive me if this has been fixed or reported, or is expected behavior, and for not testing it in 5.4.33.

Test script:
---------------
echo ord('\n');
echo " ";
echo ord("\n");


Expected result:
----------------
10 10

Actual result:
--------------
92 10

Single quoted strings aren't subject to variable and escape sequence parsing (\' and \\ notwithstanding). See Note on http://de1.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.single.
