Re: Coding Conventions

This is an interesting question. In my wild youth I used ASP (occasionally still do - sorry George W) and there was/is a very good site/list dealing with optimising code for speed (ASP Fastcode). Benchmarks were made as to the optimum method of coding, inline (example 1), discrete (example 2), or assembling dynamic/static HTML using a whole bunch of concatenation operators and outputting a single variable. It also delved into a whole host of other coding practices, some peculiar to ASP. It might be worth benchmarking PHP similarly in a few areas to come up with a definitive style guide as to best/most efficient practice. Any views?
