The difference between a double quote and a singal quote is that if you use a double quote it will interpolate variables names, and get their value, but if you use a singal quote it won't interpolate the variable name, and will just print the variable name as text.

to debug your php script, there are a few main things to keep in mind:

• make sure you are running the php script through a URL, as it needs to be used in a web server application
• Knowing what version of php you are using, as certain issues can arise if you aren't using the right version
• Make sure that display_errors is on, as this is what will tell you what isn't working, and can sometimes be turned off due to security reasons
• Make sure to check the HTML source code, as sometimes errors can be occuring in the html source of the page and php error messages can be hidden there
• Trust the error message, essentially meaning make sure you fully read and understand what the error message is saying before you start trying to change the code
• Take a break, or taking a step back can help by as you can become caught up in it and just become more confused

The $_SERVER is a variable that contains all the information regarding the browser and operating system that the user is using to access the script
