Re: use of curly braces with string interpolation.

hi guys,

I always use curly braces around vars placed in double quoted strings, I do this for 2 reasons: 1. I believe It helps the engine because the var delimitation is explicit, and this means the interpolation is (should be?) faster. 2. it looks nice (easier to read!) I have tried to test this with a simple script that does a million interations - but I cannot get it to return consistent results - one time with curlies is faster, another its slower.

The difference happens at parse time, so if you want to measure any difference execute php script in a loop, not loop inside php script.
