hi guys,


I always use curly braces around vars placed in double quoted strings, I do this for 2 reasons:

1. I believe It helps the engine because the var delimitation is explicit, and this means the interpolation is (should be?) faster.
2. it looks nice (easier to read!)


I have tried to test this with a simple script that does a million interations - but I cannot get it to return consistent results - one time with curlies is faster, another its slower.


The difference happens at parse time, so if you want to measure any difference execute php script in a loop, not loop inside php script.


DOH! nice one Marek, will make an attempt to 'bash' a script together asap (I'm crap at shell scripting! but the challenge is a good one).
thanks for the heads up.


thinking about what you said, dumping some test code inside an exec() call would have the same effect, no?
