Although really, heredoc can't be compared to either echo or print, as it's just a string definition that eventually will be printed. So I guess you guys are really comparing "" vs heredoc? And I agree that any speed difference (if there is one) isn't a good reason to choose when readablity may suffer. So it all depends on the situation, and the programmer. > btw what would be nice is a print_raw command that does no > parsing just sends the stuff :) > (Would be good for template systems where you know there is no php > hidden in there.) ... might gain a couple of micro seconds I believe this is called "breaking out of PHP mode and into HTML mode", which can be done anywhere, at any time.
