I always use single quotes first. Having a rule like that make it easy.
Often you will have html between your quotes (e.g. $s = '<a
href="..."></a>';). In HTML, you use double-quotes most of time, so it
works out perfectly. Then when you have the occasional javascript line, use
the escape character \

e.g.
$s = '
<a href="..." onmouseover="rollover(\'image.jpg\')"></a>';

Easy.

BTW, I dont think you need the brackets wtih echo

try

echo 'hello world';
