That is why i love this list. Always something new to learn.
What I am still wondering about is if it is faster to use commas or
the "{}" brackets? ( I don't know how that technique is called, since
I'm not a walking dictionary)
Example:
$var = "blah blah";
echo $var,"test";
echo "{$var}test";

Here is the order of speed from fastest to slowest:
commas - only useful if using echo or print
. - concatenation
"{$foo}" - interpolation of variables via double quotes
<<< - heredoc

One of the other things about this list is that sometimes people
actually test their ideas.
It's not that big of a deal to set up a test to show which is faster.
So, if you would like to know, then write a test for it.

Oh it'd be possible, but all this does is distract me from the purpose
of my code. I am easily distracted though seeing as I'm writing this
out in the first place! :) A simple note in the docs saying this is
read only is enough for me. You'd have to put a note in there about
how it will throw an exception upon write anyways. *shrug* But again
these are very specific pieces of code that are getting public
properties.
This goes in line with all the other coding practices I try to use.
Registry over singleton, notification queue over direct observer, etc.
Let something else do the heavy lifting when possible.
class readonlytest {
private $readonly = array('meh');
private $meh = 'meh value';
public $blah;
private function __get($name) {
if (in_array($name, $this->readonly)) {
return $this->{$name};
}
}
private function __set($name, $value) {
if (in_array($name, $this->readonly)) {
throw new Exception("The property {$name} is read
only");
}
$this->{$name} = $value;
}
}
$test = new readonlytest;
echo "Pre-blah:";
var_dump($test->blah);
$test->blah = 'blah';
echo "Post-blah:";
var_dump($test->blah);
echo "Reading meh:";
var_dump($test->meh);
try {
$test->meh = 'meh';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Exception:";
var_dump($e);
}
var_dump($test->meh);
But why would I want to clutter up my class with that nonsense?
Output:
Pre-blah:
null
Post-blah:
string 'blah' (length=4)
Reading meh:
string 'meh value' (length=9)
Exception:
object(Exception)[2]
protected 'message' => string 'The property meh is only' (length=24)
private 'string' => string '' (length=0)

Hi All,
I currently run a phpBB site using phpBB v. 2.0.22 and PHP4. We'd like to
install either APC or eaccelerator to speed up the site's performance. I'm
not sure whether we should choose APC or eaccelerator since I'm a newbie to
PHP caching.
Which do you think is better - APC or eacclerator? Here are some criteria
that I'd like to use in evaluating APC vs. eacclerator: 1) compatibility, 2)
stability and 3) speed.
Some older posts on the net (from 2006) complained about incompatibilities
between APC/eacclerator and phpBB and about crashes of APC/eacclerator. I'm
hoping that these problems have been cleared up by now.
Thanks for your help!
David

I'm a pretty happy APC user right now.
Amoung other things, I do run a not-overly-busy phpBB site under it and
I've not had any complaints.
For me APC was just a drop in task and while I did keep a careful look
out for any issues, it was all rather painless. I went for APC due to
the fact that there were some interesting Summer of Code projects
proposed that should allow for even more interesting stuff in the future :)
Also APC has an extension that you can turn on that gets the status of
file uploads, so if you operate a site where users can upload large
files, this is a nice feature for interactive displays.

2006 is a century ago in open source time :P
i was using turck mmcache which turned into eaccelerator for a while.
i also tried xcache. however, i switched to APC over a year ago now.
it's maintained by core php developers, so i figure it's the best as
it would receive little "perks" due to new features/fixes being put in
to the core php code and the developers implementing them working on
APC.
i have never done any benchmarks or anything, but i'm pretty sure
they're all relatively close speed-wise. stability-wise i've never had
an issue with APC..
the file upload stuff would be cool except i need something that
supports multiple webservers, not shared memory on a specific host.
besides, i think i've heard PHP6 will have a built in byte-code cache
already, and i am sure it will use APC/portions of APC (why not, it's
already there)

Many years ago now I was using PHPAccelerator... when it stopped being
updated I made the switch. At that time I checked out both APC and
eaccelerator and found eaccelerator to be the faster for my needs.
Recently, and I don't recall the link, I read something that indicated
eaccelerator is faster than APC. Mileage may vary though depending on
individual usage patterns. Either way, I'd say they are probably fairly
interchangeable.
Cheers,
Rob.

i think i read this recently too, because we use eac at work (i was scoping
it out). ive used only apc in that past myself. after reading around a
little a couple of weeks back, and poking around in the eac source, it looks
like eac is pretty feature rich, and possibly faster at this point.
however, i suspect, with the growing popularity of apc, the tide will turn
at some point and apc will be the best opcode caching solution.

:-)
Yes I know.
Second, the physical length of the y scale should be static and whatever you
want it to be (i.e., 5 inches, 10 inches, etc.).
That gives a poor range IMO. JPGraph generates one which is better,
since it doesn't correspond exactly to the highest value. For example
for a bar graph with the value 2,6,7,7,4,8,7 it would (might) go from
one to ten and then plot appropriate marks.
This is really what I want to achieve. But it should be able to
accommodate all sorts of values, from small to large.
--
Richard Heyes
Richard:
There's no poor, nor good, range for that.
If it was me I might take the maximum x and y coordinates and use
values that are 10 percent larger for the axis. The goodness or
poorness depends upon the data and how well that data is shown for
evaluation.
The point is that the way to create a graph is to figure out the
maximum values, determined from the points, and then create axis to
show that.

tedd

Here is the function that I added to a generic guest book script. It works
great for me. I have a predefined list of sexual, pharmaceutical, rude,
vulgar, etc... words that I have in the spamwords.dat file.
function is_spam($str) {
$data = './data/spamwords.dat';
$spamword = file($data);
$str = strtolower($str);
foreach ($spamword AS $word) {
$word = trim($word);
if ( ! empty($word) && // Blank line
strpos($word, 0, 1) != '#' && // Comment line
strpos($str, strtolower($word)) !== false ) { // Compare
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Just setup the spamwords.dat file to have each word/string that you want to
reject for separated on each line.

Hello folks,
I have written a method to download file from remote server. normally those
fill will be huge in size. from 1MB to 400MB.
I am using fsockopen and curl to download the file.
But the problem is its too slow.
Very very slow.
The code can be found on http://nopaste.info/55817730b3.html
I just put the method body.
Can any one help me on increasing the speed?

Okay, I attached the code. Not everyone will click the paste bin link. :P
the code is a downloading function of a class.
the class has some methods need to be explained.
1) $this->debugMessage, it sends message to a call back function to a caller
2) $this->doCallback, sends the amount of bytes read to a call back function
to the caller\
3) $this->localfilename is the file where the remote file will be downloaded
4) $this->lfp is localfilepointer
5) read_chunk_size = 512
6) $headers is a predefined array of headers
7) $postdata is the url encoded data to send by post method.
Here is the code....
_________________________________________________________________________
$this->lfp = fopen($this->localfilename,"wb");
if($this->lfp===false){return false;}
if(function_exists('fsockopen')){
$pu = parse_url($this->download_url);

$sock = fsockopen($pu['host'],80,$errno,$errstr);
fwrite($sock,$request);
$this->debugMessage("Headers Sent\r\n".$request);
fwrite($sock,$postdata);
$headers="";

What happens when you remove the first half of the if(), the bit that
relies on fsockopen(), and only use curl?

Nothing works.
I was using curl actually.
It was hell slow.
Then I added the fsockeopen option.
Its slwo too.
now I am thinking to add socket_* functions.
But If dont know what is the problem how can I resolve it.
change scheme may not solve it. :(

Ok, lets start by getting some accurate data.
Here's a script that downloads a 6Mb MP3:
<?php
$fp = fopen( "temp1.mp3", "wb" );
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://gramotunes.com/Life_is_Long.mp3"; );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1 );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp );
curl_exec( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );
Save it as "download.php", and run the following two commands:
time php download.php
time wget http://gramotunes.com/Life_is_Long.mp3
I get
real 0m6.105s
and
real 0m5.927s
If your results are about equal, then the problem is not with PHP.

They take same time.
let me tell you how my code works.
it download a file and in the same time it reports a progress by a call back
function.
this script is called from web. not console. it provides live debug
messages.
I'll give you a time wise debug log.

Wow, my mail client filtered these responses so I only just noticed them--I
thought there were no responses. Thanks for letting me know, I ended up
using threads to accomplish something similar.
