Efficiency

Which is more efficient? a) a sql loop where everything is displayed/formatted using echo stmts, like this: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {

        echo "<TR><TD>$row->title </TD></TR>";

} mysql_free_result($result); ?> OR b) a sql loop where you break in and out of php tags as needed: <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { ?> <TR><TD>

        <?php echo "$row->title"; ?>

</TD></TR> <?php } mysql_free_result($result); ?> Obviously, these are really simplified examples. Typically the html code gets much more complicated.
