Split strings in various lines?

[IrYoKu]

I like to code with less than 80 characters per line, and I am using long strings, and dont know very well how to split them in various lines.

I have seen in the php documentation two ways of doing it:

echo "Loooooong...
...String"

But this way it breaks the identation if it is inside a loop or conditional...

And the other way is concatenating the strings:

echo "Loooooong..." .
     "...String"

This way there is no identation problem and I think the code is clear, but it will take more time because it have to concatenate the string?

Thanks

I also code to 80 characters, since most of the time I'll have to maintain my scripts on a machine using vi it's just easier that way.

I personally use the second method, and I've seen no noticeable slowdown.

Thank you!

I will use the second method too 🙂
