php中字符串的连接用什么,哪个是在PHP中执行字符串连接的最佳方法？

在php中,我们可以通过多种方式追加字符串.

Method 1

----------------------------

$sql = "SELECT field1, ";

$sql .= " field2, ";

$sql .= " field3, ";

$sql .= " field4, ";

$sql .= "FROM table1 ";

$sql .= "WHERE condition1 = '".$value."' " ;

Method 2

----------------------------

$sql = 'SELECT field1, ';

$sql .= ' field2, ';

$sql .= ' field3, ';

$sql .= ' field4, ';

$sql .= 'FROM table1 ';

$sql .= 'WHERE condition1 = "'.$value.'" ' ;

Method 3

----------------------------

$sql = 'SELECT field1,

field2,

field3,

field4,

FROM table1

WHERE condition1 = "'.$value.'" ' ;

Method 4

----------------------------

$str = <<

SELECT field1,

field2,

field3,

field4,

FROM table1

WHERE condition1 = "$value"

HEREDOC;

以上哪种方法最好？还有其他方法可以带来更好的性能吗？
