Re: [PHP] Re: optimilize web page loading

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 rather large html strings and they aways take far less time than the transient time on the internet. I used to use OB extensively until one day I took the time to measure the difference. I don't recall 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.
