RE: [PHP-WIN] Speed

Stopping and starting is supposed to be faster. You may want to read: http://phpbeginner.com/columns/jason/echo However, I tend to echo anyway because the code is much easier on the eyes. ;) As far as print vs echo, I have no idea. My guess would be that echo is faster, but I have nothing to back that up. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry Nelson [mailto:jnelson@datanamics.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 2:02 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] Speed > > > I am fairly new to PHP and am right now writing my first complicated > script.
