RE: [PHP] here doc performance

Thanks for your thoughts. I don't believe it can be as fast as single quotes, simply because it does variable interpolation, and that's why printing doubly quoted strings are slower than singles, hence i would think here docs would be slower as well...but nothing so great that i would to worry about.... anyone else? is a big here doc the "fastest" way to print out a lot of html with variables? -----Original Message----- From: Plutarck [mailto:aemuli@spamclause-yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2001 2:31 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] here doc performance To my knowledge, though I haven't done any testing with microtime, heredoc is as faster as using single quotes. Since the only thing PHP looks for is the characters that were present at the very begining on the string, there should certainly be no slowdowns at all. If it's not that way, I imagine it would be just a bad implementation which will be fixed soon. But I strongly doubt a bad implementation of here doc printing was made. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
