static or $var whats betehr

[sangoku]

Ok i have a  instantiation file. there i declare the standart variables ike db, username, some values .... bla bla

 

NOW my question from performance point of view what is faster to declare and use a static variable  or a normal variable????

I don't know about the performance aspect, but unless you're initalizing over 1million variables, the think the performance is negligible.  What's more important is how you're going to use it.  You say static variables, do you mean constants or do you mean static variables inside a class?  The question is, should these values ever change?  In an application, the database username/password should not change (your code should not have the ability to change it once it's set), so that should remain a constant.  Think of it like that.
