I see that Paul replied and we say the same things, so here are the two
best approaches to speed it up ignoring all the str_replaces(), etc.
that need to be gotten rid of:
// option 1 - i would assume this to be the most efficient / fastest
$ac_arr = file('access_log');
$records = preg_replace("/(\r|\t)/", "", $ac_arr);
$fhandle = fopen("/ramdrive/import_file.txt", "w");
foreach($records as $all) {
// manipulate your data
// if you actually need the array then assign it here
// $new_format[] =
// "$IP\t$RU\t$RTS\t$HRL\t$HRSC\t$RCL\t$RefU\t$UA\t$all\n"
// else just do this
fputs($fhandle,
"$IP\t$RU\t$RTS\t$HRL\t$HRSC\t$RCL\t$RefU\t$UA\t$all\n");
}
fclose($fhandle);
// option 2 - if you don't need the array, just create a large string
$ac_arr = file('access_log');
$records = preg_replace("/(\r|\t)/", "", $ac_arr);
foreach($records as $data) {
// manipulate your data
$new_format .=
"$IP\t$RU\t$RTS\t$HRL\t$HRSC\t$RCL\t$RefU\t$UA\t$all\n";
}
file_put_contents("/ramdrive/import_file.txt", $new_format);
