More Efficient Coding

[ChadNomad]

Hi. I want my code to be more efficient and logical and was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction? For example i concatenate a lot of stuffs as well as escaping a lot. Example;

$content = "<p>something</p>".$content;
mysql_query("UPDATE the_table SET content='".$content."' WHERE id='".$r['id']."'") or die (mysql_error());

 

I cant think of any others right now but i'm sure i have lots of bad practices.

 

Thanks

There is nothing in that tiny snippet that needs optimizing. The difference between concatenating strings and simply using interpolation is not worth considering & is basically a waste of time.
