Fixed

Thats great ... how about saying what the problem was and how you fixed it?

So the error was happening when I seperated these two like this so that it would fix an error with the <font color =green> html code not working. Then from there php was telling me the fix. To add a comma between the " and '. Thus it was fixed. Im a newbie at php by the way.

echo "$ServerName is "'<font color="green">Online</font><br>';

The better way to fix it would have been:

echo $servername . " is <font color=\"green\">Online</font><br />";
or echo $servername . ' is <font color="green">Online</font><br />';
thirdly a echo "$servername is <font color=\"green\">Online</font> <br />";

Either of them would fix that issue. The comma that you're using isn't quite proper.. a period would be correct though. (The period concatenates the strings.)

would be the most efficient solution, saves you the string concatenation.

Really? You can pass freaking echo muliple argumenets? That's such a oddity.

You can and you should (if you care about the few nanoseconds) whenever it's possible instead of concatenation, although opcode caches (accelerators / optimizers, whatever you want to call them) nullify the advantage.
echo, being the odd language construct it is, does things a bit differently from regular functions and even its fellow language constructs.

Hm.. I'll keep that in mind the next time I write a large Project...

Well, to be frank, my big projects all use a template engine and end up having only a single echo echo'ing a large string anyway. It's a neat performance booster to keep in mind for CLI (PRISM :razz or smaller, inline-markup'd projects though.

Yeah, but I don't write template engines :P I do develop websites using one, that's developed in house by my workplace though.

Agreed, with the options given. Although I have no idea if HereDoc would be faster overall.

Your really quite excited about PRISM aren't you?

Here's a good read on the whole subject, including an objective opcode comparison rather than so-so microbenchmarks you usually see.

I just want to see how far we can push PHP

Over 160 BILLION packets, a few nanoseconds can build up to real time. Assuming you save 2ns from each operation, and on each packet you use the string operator once, you could save 320 seconds over the course of the applications run time. That's five minutes and 20 seconds. Considering that one second is equivalent to 31.7 years, stupid small optimizations can make a huge difference over the lifetime of your application.

Indeed. Got any tricks up your sleeve?

I say you hurry up too. I need to write my awesome cruise insim

morpha never said hurry up ... At least, I did not read it.

Shh.. Semantics.. all this analysis of my English means you're writing less PHP
