Re: Performance

That certainly makes sense on one level, but I think it really comes down to the question, what is more compute intensive--echoing the HTML while "in" PHP mode, or context-switching to HTML and back again to PHP? (It could be that the difference, if any, is negligible--but I'd like to at least know BEFORE I write 100 million lines of otherwise perfect code :-) ...Rene On Thursday, December 13, 2001, at 10:26 AM, Nathan Cassano wrote:

I have always assumed straight html was faster than function output. My logic being that "quoted" output requires more parsing than straight html.
