Or <?php, does it do any more than just output the file? True, GT> that's something, but is it anything really significant. True, it doesn't do anything other than output the HTML. But it's that "load - scan - determine - output" that takes up CPU time and memory. Sure, on most sites it doesn't matter one bit. But on popular sites.. well, you can do the math I'm sure. I guess at the end of the day it comes down to "don't do un-necessary things". That goes for your code as well as your server set-up, but it's true to say that if you don't actually need to parse HTML as PHP, then don't.
