This question, or rather variations of it, appear on this list at pretty regular intervals. A little while ago I wrote a script to test the speed of various output methods. http://stut.net/projects/phpspeed/?iterations=10000 As you can see, the difference is so minimal that unless you're doing it hundreds of thousands of times per script it makes little difference how you do it. In short it's usually not worth optimising at this level since greater gains are certainly to be had by looking at your interaction with databases or other external resources. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
