Good point. I usually do use the single quotes, just happened to key
doubles for the email.
Actually, it's good idea for all variable assignments.

Depends on the server and it's load. I've strung together some

the
numbers; but, I do recall it was not worth the slight extra trouble
to use OB.
Now, I simple assemble by html strings with $report .= "foo"; And
then echo $report at the end. It also makes the code very easy to
read and follow.
You might as well take it a step further. Change the above to:
$report .= 'foo';
This way for literal strings, the PHP parser doesn't have to
evaluate
this string to determine if anything needs to be translated (e.g.,
$report .= "I like to $foo"). A minimal speedup, but nonetheless...

You are really asking an HTML question, if you think about it.
At the PHP level, either use output buffering or assemble all
your
html string as a variable and
then echo it. The goal is to compress the string into the
minimum
number of packets.
Yes, but do so smartly. Excessive string concatenation can slow
things
down as well. On most pages you probably won't notice much
difference,
but I have seen instances where the difference was painfully
obvious.

Yes and if your script takes .00000000000000000000000000000002 seconds
to run using double quotes it will only take
.000000000000000000000000000000019 seconds with single (depending upon
how many quotes you have of course) :-)
I'm coming in late to this thread so sorry if I missed this :)
How much of a difference would it make if you have something like
this: echo "$foo bar bar bar bar $foo $foo"; verses: echo $foo . "bar
bar bar bar" . $foo $foo; ?In other words... You have a large
application which is most likely to be faster? :)
