example code

< ?php
require_once "benchmark.class.php";
$bm = new benchmark();
?>
Test Inline Tags vs echo



< ?php $bm->timer_start('echo'); ?>
< ?php
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
    echo $i."
";
}
?>
< ?php $bm->timer_stop('echo'); ?>



< ?php $bm->timer_start(str); ?>
< ?php
$str = '';
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
    $str .= $i."
";
}
echo $str;
?>
< ?php $bm->timer_stop(str); ?>


 < ?php $bm->timer_start(inline); ?>
< ?php
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
?>
123

< ?php
}
?>
< ?php $bm->timer_stop(inline); ?>





Result

echo - < ?php echo $bm->timer_result('echo'); ?>



str - < ?php echo $bm->timer_result(str); ?>



inline - < ?php echo $bm->timer_result(inline); ?>
