Re: [PHP] General Coding Question
And what about the third option using single quotes on the
outside i.e.
print 'INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE='. $hash[var2] .'..
or even better
print '
INPUT TYPE=TEXT
VALUE='.$hash[var2].'
SIZE=
..
This should be better than an outer double quote since it
stops any php parsing, so it's a bit faster and you don't
have to
worry if you have any dollar signs in the HTML. It does mean
that you can't just embed the variables but then that
doesn't work for array variables anyway yet, so it's no
great loss.
I must say I'm tempted by being able to write
?
INPUT TYPE=TEXT
SIZE=? if ($length20){print '40';} else {print
'20';}?
VALUE=
etc..
rather than my normal style which would be :
print '
INPUT TYPE=TEXT
SIZE=';
if ($length20)
{
print '40';
} else {
print '20';
}
print '
VALUE=
etc..
I'd be very interested to hear other's views on what they
find easiest. After all, style is
mostly about making it easy for other people (especially the
inexperienced) to maintain our code,
not to suit our ideas of elegance.
My own gut feeling is that consistency is probably the most
important thing, i.e. pick any of the
styles and then stick to it.
What do you think?

on pages with mostly HTML code, the second style is much
prefereable, but on pages with mostly PHP code, the first
style is usually OK.
overall, i tend towards the second, becuase it's a pain
in the ass to esape all the double-quotes in my HTML,
my echo statements usulaly end up looking like thi
(which, to me, is terrible form)
echo INPUT TYPE=\TEXT\ VALUE=\. $hash['var'] .\..
so i usually use this format, which to my eyes
is much prettier :)
?
INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE=?= $hash['var'] ?

Does it have any effect on performance in either case if a file is

Also, and this is personal preference, which is easier to read/debug?

You don't use a lot of javascript, do you? Start your JS with \ and end it with \ inside PHP code. No biggie.

RE: [PHP] General Coding Question
I posted the exact same question a while ago, because i know that ASP does slow down when you jump in and out of the asp dll. I tried benchmarking it, and asked my geekiest of geek friends. All results thus far point to the fact that both work just as well. and imho, the alternate syntax is a lot easier to read when switching between large blocks of html. q. -Original Message- From: James Stevens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] General Coding Question Does it have any effect on performance in either case if a file is completely done in PHP(1) or interspersed with PHP(2).

write some code and see. its very hardware/os dependant. your system may be
very diff then someone else. more likley then not.
?php
function debug_time()
{
$debug_time = microtime();
$debug_time = str_replace('.', '', $debug_time);
$debug_time = explode(' ', $debug_time);
$debug_time = $debug_time[1] . $debug_time[0];
return($debug_time);
}
class debug
{
function debug()
{
$this-start = debug_time();
}
function reset()
{
$all_vars = get_object_vars($this);
foreach($all_vars as $pos = $val)
if ($pos != 'error')
unset($this-$pos);
}
function time($text = '')
{
$this-break = debug_time();
$time = ($this-break - $this-start) / 10;
error_log(number_format($time, 4) . : $text \n, 3,
'/var/log/php_err.log');
$this-start = $this-break;
}
}
$debug = new debug;
$debug-time('a');
for($c = 0; $c 10; $c++)
echo test;
$debug-time('b');
for($c = 0; $c 10; $c++)
?test?php
$debug-time('a');
?
0.0002 : a
2.0003 : b
1.9478 : a
therefore on *my* system it is very very slightly faster to exit out of php
and echo. i find it ugly. imho.
