I have always been curious, which way is faster?
Code:
<td> <input size='25' name='department' value='<?php echo $user->department ?>' /> </td>or
Code:
<?php echo "<td> <input size='25' name='department' value='",$user->department," /> </td>"; ?>I generally use the first way, but working in a group there is a lot of code that ends up looking like the second one...

I would assume the first is faster. Where you really start to notice a speed difference in where you're having lots of opening and closing of PHP blocks near each other -- in that case you'd want one PHP block with multiple echos (or one long one if applicable).

I guess the difference is a few milliseconds, right?

Right, but it can add up quickly if you're getting lots of hits and you do it a lot. It's not a huge performance hit, but every little bit adds up.
