Given the following lines: $MESSAGE .= "<P>Application Fee: <B>" . $price . " Dollars U.S.</B>";
$MESSAGE .= "<P>Application Fee: <B>$price Dollars U.S.</B>"; Is there a performance issue (or any other issue) for using either of the above lines? Does it make any difference which is used? Suppose it changed to the following: $MESSAGE .= "<P>Application Fee: <B>" . $query-param('price') . " Dollars U.S.</B>"; or $MESSAGE .= "<P>Application Fee: <B>$query-param('price') Dollars U.S.</B>"; I have used the first two lines without any noticeable difference, but I didn't use any sort of debugging/timer tools either. I am debating with myself about which line from the second set I should use. In all instances the correct value of "price" was inserted into the variable $MESSAGE.
