What's the actual difference between a function and a macro? How would use
of macros differ from functions?
Let's pretend there is a way of defining a macro in php...
define ("MAX($a,$b)", "(($a<$b)?$b:$a)");
vs.
function max( $a, $b ) {
return $a < $b ? $b : $a;
}
And use them like this:
MAX($a,$b); // This is macro, so much easier!
max($a,$b); // This is plain old dull function! Bah, no no, not like
this...
I mean.... WTF?
