#2 will be faster, but the difference is very, very small. You should prove
it to yourself by writing a small test script like this:
<?
print(microtime() . "<br>");
for($i=0; $i<10000; $i++)
{
print("1");
print("2");
print("3<br>\n");
}
print(microtime() . "<br>");
for($i=0; $i<10000; $i++)
{
print("123<br>\n");
}
print(microtime() . "<br>");
?>
This gives me 0.88831700 970687237, 0.04122700 970687239, and 0.42651200
970687240.
So, the first version takes about 1.8 seconds. The second takes about 1.4
seconds.
(Check my math :)
That's 10,000 lines of HTML. (Oh yeah...and I did this on a PHP 3 box).
PHP 4
should be even less of a difference. It would be insteresting to see what
performance
you're getting on your box.
