[RESOLVED] IF statement inside of WHILE

[2005]

Is there any difference in speed/ performance between:

while($i=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

if ($i['deleted'] == '1') {
$image = 'd';
$color = 'f2f2f2';
}  else {
$image = 'n';
$color = 'ff0000';
}
?>
<tr bgcolor="#<?=$color?>">
<td>
<img src="<?=$image?>.jpg" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>

<?php
}

and:

while($i=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<tr bgcolor="#<?php if ($i['deleted'] == '1') { echo 'f2f2f2'; } else { echo 'ff0000';?>">
<td>
<img src="<?php if ($i['deleted'] == '1') { echo 'd'; } else { echo 'n';?>.jpg" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>

<?php
}

I am using the first one, but don't know if it's the best.

or even:

<?php
while ($i = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 

if ($i['deleted'] == '1') { 
    $image = 'd'; 
    $color = 'f2f2f2'; 
} else { 
    $image = 'n'; 
    $color = 'ff0000'; 
}
$html = '<tr bgcolor="#' . $color . '">' . PHP_EOL;
$html .='<td>' . PHP_EOL;
$html .='<img src="' . $image . '.jpg" alt="" />' . PHP_EOL;
$html .='</td>' . PHP_EOL . '</tr>';

echo $html;
}
?>

...hard to say. Benchmark it and compare. The differences however are too small to really worry about. User whatever you can read better. I personally do not like going out and in of php mode and also prefer reading php code than having mixed php and html all the time.
