Doing just a simple timer using microtime() on my computer, it took .0002 seconds to echo a line. It took about .0007 - .0009 seconds to do an inline if statement. To do a full if/else statement, it was about .0001 - .0015 seconds. But hey, I have a slow laptop. I think a lot depends on the complexity of the if statement as well. I have one that has 3-4 conditions and sub-if statements in the same line of text. The only thing I don't like about them is that it makes your code confusing, and it may take a minute to remember exactly what that line was supposed to be doing, especially in cases where you have 3-4 conditions.

Made it a whole lot simpler tho. Yup, I definitely didn’t learn it until I saw it in other people’s code and was a little freaked by it. Made it a whole lot simpler tho.
