[PHP] Efficient PHP
Anyone know any good links on papers/articles/reports on creating efficient PHP scripts (ie functions to stay away from, good practices, etc). As a C programmer, I am a nut on efficiency and speed and I have been trying to read up on efficient PHP coding practices (besides obvious general coding practices). So can anyone offer any links or experiences? ed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Efficient PHP
One thing that springs to mind was something Sterling Hughes said at the PHP Conference in Frankfurt last year: If speed is an issue don't use objects, cos at the moment the oo implementation isn't particularly efficient, although it was something that would be addressed soon. Actually, for all I know this may have been addressed already...

RE: [PHP] Efficient PHP
Yeah I've heard that they've made improvements in the oo code but I usually stay away from them on principle.

Personally, i've always taken the view that my time is worth a lot more than the CPU's time (unless i'm writing a speed-critical app, which is not very often :), so i code for human efficiency and ease of maintenence, even if the code is a little bit slower than heavily optimized code. --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Efficient PHP
Well I work for a college with some 49,000+ students so my primary concern with all those users is efficient memory and processor usage. You'd be surprised how easily a few ten's of thousands of users can bring an application server to it's knees if you have a bottleneck or two that you can avoid.. ed At 12:32 PM 5/28/2002 -0400, Scott Hurring wrote: > > -Original Message- > > From: Ed Gorski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 9:46 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [PHP] Efficient PHP > > > > > > Anyone know any good links on papers/articles/reports on > > creating efficient > > PHP scripts (ie functions to stay away from, good practices, > > etc).

But I wouldn't bet my children on advice found there. I just glanced at it quickly but it was riddled with errors large and small. miguel On Tue, 28 May 2002, SP wrote: > Here's an article you might want to read > http://phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php > > > -Original Message- > From: Ed Gorski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: May 28, 2002 9:46 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Efficient PHP > > > Anyone know any good links on > papers/articles/reports on creating efficient > PHP scripts (ie functions to stay away from, good > practices, etc).

RE: [PHP] Efficient PHP
Though on further examination the tweaks section at the end seems good and solid. I'd only gotten to the OS portion when I barked out my complaint. miguel On Tue, 28 May 2002, Miguel Cruz wrote: > But I wouldn't bet my children on advice found there.
