that's a possibility, but i'd suspect the overhead comes from when variables are actually inserted/replaced and/or characters escaped. I doubt there would be much of a difference between "status" and 'status' Nor would there be much of a diffrence between 'status '.$foo.' blah'; and "status $foo blah"; I'd be interested to see if there were much a difference performance-wise though. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
