which of these 2 codes is prefered......

[Sid04]

These are for an info box. Both sections of code work fine...just curious if one is prefered over the other...??

 

 

Example 1:

<?php  
  $info_box_contents = array(); 
$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 
				  'text'  => MY_TEXT 
			); 
new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); 

$info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
						   'text'  => tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'image.gif')
						);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

 

 

Second Example:

<?php 
{

  $info_box_contents = array(); 
$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text'  => MY_TEXT ); 
new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); 

$info_box_contents = array();
$content='<center><img src="images/image.gif"></center>';
$content.= '';	
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $content);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
}
?>

 

Both do the same thing for me....is one better then the other to use for any reason? Thanks!

Functionally, they are the same. The second one works better if there are a lot of additions to the string in the code. Otherwise, it just increase the complexity of the code and should not be used.
