Script bandwidth question

Python

Heres just a little question...


Lets say for example we had a script which had an IF ELSE statement in it. Something like the following:

[PHP]$number = 5;
if($number == 2){
// 1mb of text
} else {
echo "hello";
}[/PHP]

Where it says 1mb of text - what if there was infact about a megabyte of either code or just plain text. If this script was run even though what is inside that if statement wouldnt be parsed as such would it still use that 1mb of bandwidth?

$cripts

if the statement is true it will run the 1mb of code if it isnt it will not

Bandwidth as in transfer of data to the user? No, unless the text is actually being outputted back to the user for rendering.

The code PHP executes dot not equal the bandwidth.

Ok thanks for that

Cleared it up
