I was just wondering what makes PHP work faster. I have a few methods that I always go and do, but that only improves the way I can read it, but how about the interpreter?Should I include the curly braces when there is only one statement to run?if(...){    echo test;}# Or..if(...)    echo test;=== Which should be used?I have also found http://beta.phpformatter.com/, and I find the following settings to be good, but are they?Indentation:Indentation style: {K&R (One true brace style)}  Indent with: {Tabs}  Starting indentation: [1]  Indentation: [1]Common:[x] Remove all comments[x] Remove empty lines[x] Align assignments statements nicely[ ] Put a comment with the condition after if, while, for, foreach, declare and catch statementsImprovement:[x] Remove lines with just a semicolon (;)[x] Make normal comments (//) from perl comments (#)[x] Make long opening tag (<?php) from short one (<?)Brackets:[x] Space inside brackets- ( )[x] Space inside empty brackets- ( )[x] Space inside block brackets- [ ][x] Space inside empty block brackets- [ ]Tiny var names:often I go through my code and change $var1 to $a, $var2 to $b and so on. I do include comments at the start of the file to show to me what each letter(s) mean..Final note:So am I doing the right thing with the curly braces and the settings?Are there any great tips that help it run faster?
