Simple question

[Manixa]

Hello there fellow programmers,

 

I was just wondering if there was any difference between doing this:

 

echo "Say Something Here";

 

and this

 

echo "Say ";
echo "Something ";
echo "Here";

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Notice: I am aware of the fact that they will output the same thing, my question is regarding resources.

first I would recommend to use single quotes instead of double quotes, because from a resources point of view, double quotes takes more processing resources because PHP checks the string for a variable to resolve it's value inside the string,  instead single quotes will be taken just as a string. So back to your question, the second option as is, it would take more resources than the first one, but if you use single quotes instead, should be the same.

Just to make sure I got it right:

 

$dgd="Test";

// #1
echo "<div id='test'>$dgd</div>";
// #2
echo '<div id="test">'.$dgd.'</div>';

 

#1 takes more resource than #2 right?
