Re: For ... <= max($myArray) vs For ... <= $max

Then only problem with doing it like for($x = 1, $max = count($myArray); $x <= $max; $x++ ) is that the $max = count( $myArray ) is always verified in each loop...slowing the for loop down... faster to do $max = count( $myArray ); for( $x = 1, $x <= $max; $x++ ) just my $0.02...for the day...
