The file WILL be larger in size and if you're including it, the hard drive will have to seek to it and suck it all in. Granted we're probably talking millionth of a second here again, but even so :) Using spaces instead of tabs is only useful if you're going to share or make your code available for public consumption. Under any other scenario the benefit difference is negligible at best. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
