Not really saying it's a problem, but all attributes SHOULD be in double quotes, and also, the <img> tag, doesn't use the </img> closure, and should be opened and closed in on statement, like <img />
Again, not saying that what you've done is wrong, nor does switching the single to double, and double to single quotes really make much of a difference, unless your doctype is strict (I think).

See the difference: $testReplace2 = "<div id='pos1-0'><img name='pos1-0' src='test.gif' height='50' width='50' border='0' alt='white_pawn'></img></div>"; $testReplace2 = '<div id="pos1-0"><img name="pos1-0" src="test.gif" height="50" width="50" border="0" alt="white_pawn"></img></div>';
