 |
|
Which one would be more correct?
| Code: | $temp = "cool";
echo "This is a $temp script";
|
or..
| Code: | $temp = "cool";
echo "This is a" . $temp . " script";
|
Both will produce the same output, at least on on my configuration of PHP.

I would say...
| Code: | $temp = "cool";
echo "This is a" . $temp . " script"; |

Me too, as I think the first is a little crude. It seems to me that method was put in more for convienience than anything else.

Both are correct. But the first method seems to be faster (well, you won't notice the difference unless you have to make 10000s of calls to this line in the same script).

Its always a good idea to use Concatenation when developing your scripts to
prevent problems later in future development , I would say the second but as
Aprelium explained , it really doesn't matter , its up to you. LateR!
Here's An Example
| Code: |
<?php
// Start the name function
function name() {
$name = "Foo";
return $name;
}
// Example 1 , will print your name
echo "Your name is " . name();
// Example 2 , will not print out your name
// because your not seperating the string.
echo "Your name is name()";
?> |
P.S. Im leaving to Pittsburgh, PA in about an hour from now. :-)

I know for something like that, but I would script like this:
| Code: | function name() {
$name = "Foo";
return $name;
}
$var = name();
echo "your name is $var.";
