Any performance difference between these 2 codes?

[m5n6]

code1:

 

<?php

define(...);// line 1

define(...);// line 2

define(...);// line 3

define(...);// line 4

?>

 

code2:

 

<?php

define(...);// line 1

define(...);// line 2

?>

 

<?php

define(...);// line 3

define(...);// line 4

?>

 

I'm guessing the performance difference can be ignored.

 

Thanks for any comments

You mean there is 'other stuff' between the defines in example 2?

No, there is no significant difference AFAIK.

The define gets defined in the same speed.

Opening a few <?php ?> tags more or less should not be a time issue.

Many thanks, Mattice!

The real question is why you would want to define variables throughout your code? I'd hate to pick up a coding project that you began!

 

Opening and closing php tags a couple of times would not impact performance. However, if you want to get down to clock cycles... snipet 2 is slower than 1.

Ryan, thanks for your reply!

 

The reason is that I'm using 2 contributions and I want to add them automaticly. this way I can easily upgrade without a lot of file merging.

appending 1 file to the end seems better than search "?>", since it might be more than 1 of them.
