I just started using PHP and got to think...
Without getting into the discussion of "best practices", strictly from
a performance perspective,
what is faster: a function or an include?
For example I have a block of text that needs to appear mutliple times
throughout the site.
Will I be better off creating a function with its contents and then
later just calling the function or,
will it be faster (from an execution perspective) for me to create an
.inc file that gets included later on?
Micro-optimization is pretty useless. I seriously doubt you would notice
any difference in performance.
This comes under the other discussions like about which is faster - a
foreach/while/for loop.
You'll find other bottlenecks (eg changing a regex to do an str_replace)
which will make a bigger difference.
