In fact, this is a poor example since the difference gets larger with longer string and more arguments. When you use dots, the interpreter has to actually concatenate the string, looking for memory to do so and freeing it up afterwards. This takes time. With commas, each argument is sent to

To elaborate on Philip's response (which is correct)... Anything in double quotes ( ) will be interpreted by PHP before figuring out what the actual value is. Items like \n, \t, etc are therefore converted to a newline (\n) or a tab (\t) before assigning to the variable. Variables within
