So I’m a bit confused as to the general workings of PHP (and I guess other server-side languages).

Say I have a PHP file with this kind of code:

```auto

<?php if(1 + 1 == 3) {

  //thousands of bytes of calculations, characters, function calls, everything

} else { someQuickEasyFunction(); } ?>

```

Would that file take any longer to load than a file like this?

```auto
 <?php someQuickEasyFunction(); ?> 

```

I know they would both only run someQuickEasyFunction - but the first file would be much larger in size - does that affect load times?

Also, do excessive line breaks and such in PHP make a difference?

If anyone can point me in the general direction of a link that would answer these types of questions, I’d be very happy. :cowbell:
