i don't think it'll make too much of a difference on a small file, but.... which would be better, many little blocks of php to run or one big one (sorry i'm having a hard time wording what i mean )..

example..

code:

<html>

...( more html )

...

<img src="<? echo($site_url); ?>/images/top.jpg">

<img src="<? echo($site_url); ?>/images/oreo.jpg">

..

..

Versus

code:

<?

$top="

<html>

...( more html )

...

<img src=\"$site_url/images/top.jpg\">

<img src=\"$site_url/images/oreo.jpg\">

..

.. ";



echo($top);



?>

know what i mean??

the first would seem to require less compiling on the server, but would it be better to compile it all in one chunk like the second? the second seems a lot easier for me to look through and troubleshoot because there aren't a bunch of little php blocks scattered throughout it. For a small project should i just not worry about this and pick the method i feel more comfortable with, or should i worry about it???

thanks

There shouldn't be any considerable performance issues it's my understanding (and I got this from MrMax so he may be able to clarify more) that PHP actually parses the whole page and essentially just echo's anything that is not inside the php delimeters.
