Ild just like to point out something on the echo and print argument. You say "The echo command is much faster than the print command". I'ld like to point out why.

Print has a return value, echo does not.


Consider:

 <?php 

if (print('foo')) { print('foo printed'); } // Will be true 

if (echo('foo')) { echo('foo printed'); } // Will be false 

?>

Evidently print will always return logical true (1), unless there is a serious error with PHP and the string does not print. Obviously PHP uses C prototypes but I will convert them into PHP so we can see what is going on.

 <?php 

function print($stringToPrint) { 
  system.out($stringToPrint); 
  return 1; 
} 

function echo ($stringToPrint) { 
  system.out($stringToPrint); 
} 

?>

Hope that helps clear that up.
