I am fairly new to PHP and am right now writing my first complicated 
script.   There is a lot of HTML in the page and I was wondering which 
method is faster.  To always be inside the <?php ?> tags or to stop and 
start.
Here is a quick example (not necessarily a good one)
<?php
     $sql2 = "select ABBREV from STATES";
     $result2 = OCIParse($conn,$sql2);
     OCIExecute($result2) or die("It's not possible to query");
?>
     <select name=STATE >
<?php
     while (OCIfetch($result2,1)) {
?>
         <option><?php echo OCIresult($result2,1)?>
<?php } ?>
</SELECT>

OR

<?php
     $sql2 = "select ABBREV from STATES";
     $result2 = OCIParse($conn,$sql2);
     OCIExecute($result2) or die("It's not possible to query");
     echo "<select name=STATE >";
     while (OCIfetch($result2,1)) {
         echo "<option>";
         echo OCIresult($result2,1)
     }
     echo "</SELECT>";
?>

Also which is faster print or echo.
Thanks
