Hello Yeti! This is a very good question, because it shows that you're interested in get the max from your PHP codes. In my research about php optimization, I couldn't find any relevant article about this specific issue, but some sites tell us that using commas instead periods on echo constructor would be faster. I agree with that, because using the concatenation symbol, will cause PHP to take steps to process the concatenation. But I think (I never did any performances tests on this subject) that the gain would be irrelevant on a general site. Regards from Brazil.
