@NogDogDec 07.2006 — #The only reason to use [b]printf()[/b] in preference over [b]echo[/b] or [b]print()[/b] is if you will be using the format string place-holders feature with additional arguments (one for each such place-holder). If not, then [b]print()[/b] will be faster, and [b]echo[/b] even (very slightly) faster since it does not generate a return value.
