Just to be curious: when something like if (defined('FOO') && FOO) { class foo{}; function foo(){}; } is parsed and FOO is not defined, will the code inside be parsed nevertheless? Or is anything inside skipped, leading to a (fragments of microseconds) faster handling of the code? Thus to go to my original question concerning speed: Would I save time with this construct as I would save it with skipping an include()?
