note 53925 added to function.echo

The benchmark notes from 2002 don't seem to be right any more. I did some loop tests for different kinds of output formatting in PHP 5.0.4. The numbers are the time taken for 10000 iterations: echo 'Key is ', $k, '<br>',"\n",'Value is ', $v, '<br><br>', "\n"; 0.97371506690979 echo 'Key is ', $k, "<br>\nValue is ", $v, '<br><br>', "\n"; 0.77851700782776 echo "Key is $k<br>\nValue is $v<br><br>\n"; 0.51984405517578 echo 'Key is '. $k. '<br>'."\n".'Value is '. $v. '<br><br>'. "\n"; 0.37696409225464 It seems that concatenation is way faster than multiple parameters, and interpolation is pretty good too. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53925 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53925&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53925&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
