Should variables contain apostrophes in templates?

What I mean by this is should they look like this:

both seem to work and I have seen many people use with and without in examples, as well as in the templates themselves, but I would like to know if one is safer then the other, whether it is simply user preference or something else entirely.

Note to mods:
I have accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, it should be in the vB3 General Discussions or vB3 Programming Discussions.

Zend uses quotes... http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.1...ing-style.html

PHP doco says use quotes... http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

So basically treat as if they where php.

Right, the stuff in a condition goes pretty much directly into an if statement (although it's checked for function calls that aren't allowed). It's the same in vb4, even though the tag syntax is a little different.

And although you didn't ask about it, variables used in a template (in vb3) go in to a double quoted string, so those rules apply there.
