What is it with your over use of ElseIf and not Switch anyway??? :)

Because elseif is MUCH FASTER than Switch.

Any really good sites to readup on php performance? I would have guessed switch with the use of break would be faster. But with me being so new to php of course I'm wrong. :) But I have to say, I do love this application and the way you did program it. Very well done!!

checking out all the user posts in the english documentation on php.net is good - pretty much every function has a post from someone saying what it's faster or slower than.

phpbuilder.com has some decent articles too.

Ofcause Php is not compier, but switch{} is more quickly in any case, isn't it?

Exactly vice versa - it is much slower.

Hm. It's very interesting why. So interesting that i'll go see source code of php.

Example.

www.php.net/switch

Ctrl+F and search for the word "slower"

This is just one example... I have lost a complicated test which proofs that.

I guess, in case of miniBB with very simple comparisions the speed difference between "switch" and "if" is not really critical. We are using "if" just because it is more suitable.
