TalkPHP - View Single Post - Do proliferation of PHP tags affect speed?

Are scripts that have lots of <?PHP..?> tags taking hits on execution speed, or does this actually enhance speed? Or, on the other hand, does it have no effect?

Example from book:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

  // ... some PHP here...

?>



<html>

<head>

<?php

// admin page

require_once('db_login') ;

?>



<title>



<?php

// print the window title and the topmost body heading

$doc_title = "Category Administration" ;

echo "$doc_title\n" ;

?>



</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>



<?php

echo "$doc_title\n" ;

?>



</h1>
