Quick question

[skiflyer]

I have a controller file with several includes, many of the included pages contain pure html/javascript, and many have those as well as php.

Currently all are saved as php files...

the html/javascript files are on the order of 30-100 lines...

will I be saving myself any processing time (noticeable or otherwise) by renaming these to .html files, or with an include will they be pre-processed anyway?

Even the .php files are just included verbatim.

The parser does not interpret anything in an include file except that which appears within a pair of &quot;<?php...?>&quot; tags. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Sure, but they're running through the parser if they're .php files. By default, my setup does not have the php parser bother with .html tags, regardless of <?php ?> tags.

So, if I include a .html file from a php page is it now parsed or not parsed? Or is the answer, they're included verbatim, and now parsed since they're within a .php file?

From

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php:

When a file is included, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode at the beginning of the target file, and resumes again at the end. For this reason, any code inside the target file which should be executed as PHP code must be enclosed within valid PHP start and end tags.

The filename does not matter. It's going through the parser in any regard. It's just that the parser only parses that which is within the appropriate tags. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
