Is it better to concatenate a variable (say, $name) into an existing string (say, $string) like this:
$string='Hi, my name is '.$name
or to embed the variable in the string like this:
$string="Hi, my name is $name";
or is it better to use a function like this:
$string=sprintf("Hi, my name is %s",$name);
Which is better in terms of processor time/efficiency?
