[PHP] jumping between php and html or using echo for printing html-tags.

2003-02-06 Thread anders thoresson 
Which is more efficient:

function admin_menu() {
 echo B Meny /BBR;
 echo A HREF=\ . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action= . MANAGE_MEMBERS . 
\Medlemmar/ABR;
 echo A HREF=\ . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action= . MANAGE_ALBUMS . 
\Album/ABR;
 echo A HREF=\ . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action= . INITIAL_PAGE . 
\Huvudmeny/ABR;
 echo A HREF=\ . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action= . LOG_OUT . 
\Logga ut/ABR;
}

or

function admin_menu() {
 ?
 B Meny /BBR
 A HREF=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']??action=?php echo(MANAGE_MEMBERS) 
;?Medlemmar/ABR
 A HREF=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']??action=?php echo(MANAGE_ALBUMS) 
;?Album/ABR
 A HREF=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']??action=?php echo(INITIAL_PAGE) 
;?Huvudmeny/ABR
 A HREF=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']??action=?php echo(LOG_OUT);?Logga 
ut/ABR
 ?php
}

Any reasons other than speed to choose either?

Your first method is more efficient according to my quick
test, though I find myself preferring the second when I
write code due to the readability advantages. The
difference is small, however. Here is the code I used to
test, so you can try it out (and verify my method of
testing) for yourself:

?
$foo = 'bar';

# TIME FIRST METHOD
list($microseconds, $seconds) = explode(' ', microtime());
$start_time = floatval($seconds) + floatval($microseconds);
for ($i = 0; $i  100; $i++)
{
 echo a href=\ . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action= .
$foo . \\n;
}
list($microseconds, $seconds) = explode(' ', microtime());
$end_time = floatval($seconds) + floatval($microseconds);
$total_time_first = $end_time - $start_time;

# TIME SECOND METHOD
list($microseconds, $seconds) = explode(' ', microtime());
$start_time = floatval($seconds) + floatval($microseconds);
for ($i = 0; $i  100; $i++)
{
?
a href=? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ??action=? echo
$foo; ?
?
}
list($microseconds, $seconds) = explode(' ', microtime());
$end_time = floatval($seconds) + floatval($microseconds);
$total_time_second = $end_time - $start_time;

# OUTPUT RESULTS
echo pFirst method took   . $total_time_first . 
seconds/p\n;
echo pSecond method took  . $total_time_second . 
seconds/p\n;
?

The results went the other way when I tested this using
mod_php rather than the CLI, and there was a larger
difference between the two. So, test it in your own
environment, because YMMV. :-)

Please try to make an effort and do a little research of
your own before asking the list:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.floatval.php

Upgrade to at least 4.2, or use this alias of floatval():

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.doubleval.php
