the site that I design for has converted all of the echo""; print() and any
other printing function of php into a simple breakout into HTML.
ie:
<?
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
?>We have done <?=$i?> loop.<?
}
?>
We have done performance testing on most everything that can be done out put
and include()/require() stuff. If you would like information on the
performance results I might be able to round up some of the data. It is
faster and cleaner.

Subject: [PHP] Performance
Is it true that mixing HTML and PHP--switching back and forth with
<?php ?> tags--slows down performance? (I'm using PHP4.) Is it better
to echo output than to drop out of PHP mode?
And concerning database connections, my ISP asks that I always close a
MySQL connection with a mysql_close()--which I can understand. But I'm
curious, if I have to make, say, 10 SELECTs throughout a page (in the
header, body, and footer), is it perhaps faster to use the mysql_close()
at the very end of the page (in the bottom of the footer.inc)? In other
words, is there any disadvantage performance-wise (or stability reason)
to open and immediately thereafter close mysql connections?
Can anyone recommend an article or two on coding techniques for
improving PHP and MySQL performance? I don't wan to spend the rest of my
life optimizing my php code, but if I knew a few basic rules about its
performance characteristics, I might be able to make better decisions
when coding. Thanks.
