correct this. There were about 100 attendees in the talk, not only 50. :)

- PHPUGDO plans "PHP introduction workshop" on Sun, 16 Jul 2006 13:29:50 +0200 in Tobias Schlitt - a passion for php
  
  During our last usergroup meeting here in Dortmund (last Thursday), the idea
  came up to organize a "PHP introduction day", if there is enough
  interesst in the local area. The idea resulted from the success of Kores and
  my "PHP best practice

  You wrote in there: "allways use ++$i instead of $i++" (in for loops). Why
  is that?

- Toby at Sun, 25 Jun 2006 16:51:13 +0200

  Oh, the wording was incorrect here. I rephrased it to "Where possible
  use...". Surely it is not allways possible, since post- and pre-increment
  operators are still semantically different. Anyway, there are tons of
  places, where ++$i is as appropriate as $i++ and the first one is simply
  much faster in PHP.

  Thanks for the hint!

  Interesting. I'd have thought that two so nearly identical functions would
  be nearly identical in speed as well. But the difference is indeed
  significant and in such a for loop, I can't think of any (other) reason to
  prefer one over the other.

  In my quick benchmark (PHP 5.1.4 on Debian Linux) an (empty) for loop with
  ++$i was 11% faster than one with $i++.

  Yeah, that is what we gathered also.
