Note Submitter: red at iklanumum dot com Reason: useless ---- This is very unique! First structure: if ($a) {} else { only do this } The above structure does executed 12.77% faster than the second structure below! I had loop it 20 millions time and I got this unique result. Second structure: if (!$a) { only do this } By considering this fact then my programming-script will be written awful if I want to do "only do this". For "CODE CLEANLINESS" and logic purpose I shall use the second structure BUT for "SPEED" purpose I better use the first one. Although the different is not significant (will be differ about 3 seconds after 20 millions loop) but I hope PHP developers take time to review how PHP parse (handle) this kind of structure. Well, I'm not sure this could be happened in C++ or others too. But since I mostly use PHP then this becomes my concern. I wonder what people think about my script if they see that I use the former. I worship the speed above all :)
