How much of a penalty is there for using a construct like
<? print "Hello, $name, Welcome to $mysite"; ?>
vs.
Hello, <?= $name ?>, Welcome to
<?= $mysite ?>
Does the ZEND engine tokenize both these to the same thing, so that there's no speed penalty in using one over the other? I've used a module in perl that calls an eval each time you switch from HTML to the Perl interpretter, so the latter method is much more expensive.
TIA,
