"negligible".. blarg spelling. :) = = = Original message = = = As referenced in the manual ( http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php ), check out this url: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1/fid/40 Short story, there is a difference, but the speed difference is negligable. If anyone cares, I prefer echo too. Not sure why. Shorter to type, old habits (coming more from a scripting background than a "real programming" background even though I've done some of that too), who knows? Part of it may be the desire to have my code do what it needs to do and nothing more. Print returns a value, which I don't use, so why would I want it to do that? That's a little anal retentive, but every little bit helps I suppose, even if it's a negligable difference. -TG = = = Original message = = = On Tue, 2007-02-13 at 19:19 +0330, Danial Rahmanzadeh wrote: > is it true that echo is a bit faster than print()? in general, when we don't > need a return value, which one is better to choose? Yes, echo is faster than print. I would suggest echo over print since it is shorter and faster :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
