Note Submitter: caliban at darklock dot com ---- String concatenation is faster than the array method: $str=""; $str.="Some string"; $str.="Some other string"; ... $str.="The last string"; That runs roughly twice as fast as: $str=array(); $str[]="Some string"; $str[]="Some other string"; ... $str[]="The last string"; $str=implode("",$str); Not that I think this is a terribly widespread practice, but I've got an awful lot of legacy code with this array method in it and a comment to the effect that it's faster than string concatenation. Testing has shown the exact opposite, so I figured I'd enlighten anyone else with this misconception.
