it can be:

echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product($productid, $price[0]);

or

echo print_wp_cart_button_for_product("{$productid}", "{$price[0]}");

to better.

Hi, Just wondering what difference the quotes will make with this. Thanks.

Double quotes are using for VariableStrings. Like: "Hello $MyNameVariable." also they are slower than Single quotes.

Single quotes are using for SimpleStrings. Like: 'Hello YPY'. also they are faster than Double quotes.

And using { and } to variables, just increase code readability and better it. "Hello {$Micro}soft" <--- !
