Hi,
Suppose you have the situation where you have say 20 blocks of text (~250
chars each) in a MySQL db that you need to display, but each has a condition
to check to see whether you should display it or not.
As far as I can see, you have 2 options:
1. A continuous block of php, with all the text displayed via echo commands
2. Or jumping in and out of php for each block of text i.e.
<?php ...if condition ?>
pure html
<?php ...if end ?>
Which would be more performant? I understand that echo's are poor in
performance with large blocks of text, but what is the overhead of the web
server (Apache) making repeated calls to the php engine?
My general point is, is it "better" to echo html out (css, formatting and
all) or continuously jump in/out of php (and only echo MySQL data) if you
have a lot of php logic / control in your page?
Thanks,
M
