echo "hello ", "world"; print "hello "."world"; Of these two the echo command is more efficient. The print statement requires PHP to create a new string in memory and copy "hello " and "world" into it, then display that string. The echo command does not require the new string creation step - instead it sends "hello " to the browser, then sends "world" to the browser without needing to stick them together in memory first. The difference in performance however is minimal to the point of being completely un-noticable. I think that's the difference anyway :) Simon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
