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).

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.
