Have you ever stared at at 45-line script for half an hour to figure out why PHP is getting annoyed with an "unexpected $end" just to figure out that you left a semicolon out of an eval statement?

I was working on a school project (which took 2 weeks) and I had an error which cost me 7 hours to solve.
I tried lots and lots of things, but after those 7 hours (so, at the end of the day) I finally found the error:

username = $_POST["username'];

Note that there's a " in front of username while there's a ' on the end.

I remember a lot of people staring at me while I was cursing...

That's why I always use single quotes for keys and double-quotes for everything else
