最好在PHP中传递完整的对象或只是一个必需的值（Symfony 2）？

Question

I would like to ask if it's better to pass a complete array or object to view or just a required value?

For example, controller is rendering some view which needs 2 parameters:

client.id and client.name

and now, will it have a big impact on the speed performance if I will pass complete client object (can have lots of data) or not at all?

Answer 1

When You passing an object in reality you pass reference to it and it has 32bits size.

So if You alredy have object crated and You just need to pass some of its values to view better to pass its reference instead of only required values, You will crate just one new variable instead of x.
