Some interesting reading, I never knew you could use the old coma... Thanks people :)

[Spudinski]

Thanks for sharing some knowledge on that subject.

But, people please try and stay on topic.

The topic is PHP.

That was PHP

Please shush xD

[Spudinski]

Pfft... You need to listen to me f00.

I am staff, therefor - I am better than you. :P

The things you guys are discussing a.t.m. isn't very helpful for somebody starting off at PHP, it's more on an intermediates skill level.

[Danny696]

Ptff, show your online status then i will xD

And they'll have to learn it sometime or other :)

I don't see how correcting chinion's code with proper concatenation then discussing what concatenation is and the methods of using it, is off topic. :huh:

[Zero-Affect]

The topic is called PHP so any discussion towards that subject would be on topic. So Spudinski i would say your incorrect in thinking the discussion was off topic.

On that note would heredoc be slower or faster?

[LordDan]

On that note would heredoc be slower or faster?

Surely one heredoc would be quicker than several Echos. It would make sense. However, i have not looked it up.

[Spudinski]

@CrimGame: Point taken.

No heredoc would be slower, as it has to process the data multiple times.

Just as with Zeggy's explanation, the interpreter would have to do another cycle for the variables defined.

Yeah i thought slower also...
