Speed issues.

Greetings, I am new to PHP and trying to implement some PHP and MySQL on my website. My website has a lot of tables and inside some of those tables, I want to display information that is drawn out of the MySQL database using PHP. I was wondering what goes faster: (A). Building the whole page normally up in HTML, doing the usual <table> <td> and so forth, and then inside the <td> calling up the PHP in order to display the information. For example: <td> <?php ...... ?> </td> (B). Doing everything in the PHP document, also the 'building' of the tables, and then including the PHP script in the main page. For example using printf("<tr><td> and so forth. Thanks, Yves Vrancken
