  I thought str_replace caused slow down of my mailing script, but it
  seems to be this line of code:
 
  $fd =
  implode(,file(http://www.domain.org/store/min/Mailing_template.html;)
  );
 
  I first put the mailing template in $fd (only once) and then replace
  (str_replace) elements of it to individualize HTML emails.
  Btw i'm using php version 4.0.6.
 
  Are there better(faster) ways to read the contents of a file?
 
 file_get_contents() ?
unfortantly this is only (PHP 4 = 4.3.0).

imploading a file all the time from file simply doesn't make sense
to me, i would fread() the file directly into a string instead.

 
 The slow down is probably because you're going through HTTP to read the
 file. Is there a reason for that? Any way you can cache the file locally so
 it's not read through HTTP all of the time?

Yep, reading through http is  the slowdown.

[PHP] Implode slows down file reading? [was: str_replace performance in large mailing script]

[frederik feys]

Hi all,

I thought str_replace caused slow down of my mailing script, but it
seems to be this line of code:

$fd =
implode(,file(http://www.domain.org/store/min/Mailing_template.html;)
);

I first put the mailing template in $fd (only once) and then replace
(str_replace) elements of it to individualize HTML emails.
Btw i’m using php version 4.0.6. 

Are there better(faster) ways to read the contents of a file?

Thanks!
Fré
