I'm sure there are many other places where an effort to optimize your code would produce significantly better results. For example, I see people use for/foreach loops to operate on arrays all the time, when there's usually an array_*() function that does the same thing. The risk of breaking working code by fiddling with the quoting style is not worth the miniscule performance benefit you would see, imo. > - Is the source code of the PEAR's website open source?
