Hi,
I am just thinking about that what is better for storeing structured
variables in point of view of performance.

Is better store structured variables in associative array, for example:

$person['first_name'] = 'Karel';
$person['last_name'] = 'Kozlik';
$person['address'] = 'somewhere on Earth';

or in object like this:

$person->first_name = 'Karel';
$person->last_name = 'Kozlik';
$person->address = 'somewhere on Earth';

I feel that objects are better for performance, but work with
associative arrays is pleasanter for me. May be the diference in
performance measurable? (in heavy loaded environment)

thanks Karel
