GRR I hate outlook veruses Trillian Personally I would make Author: Id|Name|Bio Article: Id,title,desc,authordata So then I can do things like Select Articles.Title, article.Description,(select GROUP_CONCAT(Name) from authors where authors.ID IN Articles.AuthorData) as Authors from Articles where Articles.ID=XXX Then php could $tAuthors=explode(,,$row['Authors']); and pass that into smarty or whatever for the view portion of the app. I just say this because Junction tables really don't save you much and infact this it's very clear what your doing.

Nathan, The profiling I included proved that was not the case. Mysql run the query and return the single column single row result in under 1 second but PHP's mysql-query waited much longer than that to return. If it was a big result set I could see some slow down in parsing the results into memory but this wasn't the case. Updates/Deletes have similar random timing issues , and using mysql profiling, I can see its not transit or lock or clean up time from mysql - php , it is purely inside the php mysql functions the slow down seems to be occurs , but I can dive into those as they are compiled modules not userland functions. -Original Message- -Original Message- From: Nathan Rixham [mailto:nrix...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 6:35 PM To: David Murphy Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: mysql query returning slowly David Murphy wrote: This is from our application I enabled profile in mysql to determine why an update took 20seconds.

RE: [PHP] Drawing Images Without Writing To a File
Also you should think about writing those files a memcache or something.
That way the image can expire but you're not wasting a lot of cpu cycles,
aka 500 hits to the site at the same time would be very intensive, but
if someone hit the site 10 minutes ago with a 700 ttl, the would load the
image instantly from ram ;)
Also a method I like is
class thumbnail {
function __construct($baseFileName){
if (!file_exists(THUMBS./.$baseFileName)
$this-generateThumbnail($baseFileName);
return $this-outputThumbContents($baseFileName);
}
function outputThumbContents($sFileName){
//Reads file and echo its header/contents
}
}
Which of course you could make check a memcache location instead or
memcache,file,then build if neither is present. :)

Have the image tag call a script which generates the images based on
parameters in the filename:
img src=image.php?param1=somethingparam2=something_else/
Then you can have PHP read in the GET data and generate any image you

ThinAPP by VMware is a better alternative I think, it makes the VM into an EXE, so autorun will load the exe, which you can set a windows or full screen. Of course this isn't free. Also RoadsendPHP http://roadsend.com can package an app in offline mode, with an embedded web server (MicroServer). Depending on your needs not sure which is most applicable for you.

RE: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC model?
I take a different approach :
// In the MainHandler
Define('StorageClassName',_MySQL);
Class UserController {
function __construct($objDataStore=false){
if(!$objDataStore)
$this-DataStore = new
instanceof($this).STORAGECLASSNAME ;
}
Function update(){
$data = $this-DataStore-Load(foo);
$data-Set(foo,bar);
$data-save;
}
This assumes your using DBO so the loaded foo object inherited the
settings/methods from the DB Datastore.
Thus letting you passing a different datastore object or it builds one based
on the model name and the storage type you set as a constant.
However it still links the two together so you can use $this calls to
reference the DataStore of the Model layer.

Subject: RE: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC

Hi Eric,
IMO, controllers shouldnt be responsible for interacting models and
datastoreres. Controllers might only change the datastore class of a model.
You may use your models in lots of controller functions. Defining datastore in
all controllers seems not a good practice. (too much unneccessary codes
written)
A simple example
//controller
Public function doItController()
{
$user = new user();
// $user-setDataStorer(new anotherDataStorer()); // this is
optional if
you want to change models datastorer
$user-loadUserFromId(1);
}
// model
Class user
{
Protected $_dataStorer = null;
Public function loadUserFromId($id = 0)
{
// codes codes codes
$result = $this-getDataStorer()-query(select .);
// codes codes codes
}
// codes codes codes
Public function getDataStorer()
{
if(null == $this-_dataStorer)
$this-_dataStorer = new myVeryBestDataStorer();
return $this-_dataStorer;
}
Public function setDataStorer($newStorer)
{
$this-_dataStorer = $newStorer;
}
}
Hope it will be usefull and understandable

Subject: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC
model?
I'm in the process of implementing an ultra-light MVC framework in PHP.
It seems to be a common opinion that the loading of data from a database,
file etc. should be independent of the Model, and I agree.
What I'm unsure of is the best way to link this data layer into MVC.
I've considered a few options:
*Datastore interacts with Model*
//controller
public function update()
{
$model = $this-loadModel('foo');
$data = $this-loadDataStore('foo', $model);
$data-loadBar(9); //loads data and populates Model
$model-setBar('bar');
$data-save(); //reads data from Model and saves
}
*Controller mediates between Model and Datastore*
Seems a bit verbose and requires the model to know that a datastore exists.
//controller
public function update()
{
$model = $this-loadModel('foo');
$data = $this-loadDataStore('foo');
$model-setDataStore($data);
$model-getDataStore-loadBar(9); //loads data and populates Model
$model-setBar('bar');
$model-getDataStore-save(); //reads data from Model and saves
}
*Datastore extends Model*
What happens if we want to save a Model extending a database datastore to
a flatfile datastore?
//controller
public function update()
{
$model = $this-loadHybrid('foo'); //get_class == Datastore_Database
$model-loadBar(9); //loads data and populates
$model-setBar('bar');
$model-save(); //saves
}
*Model extends datastore*
This allows for Model portability, but it seems wrong to extend like this.
Further, the datastore cannot make use of any of the Model's methods.
//controller extends model
public function update()
{
$model = $this-loadHybrid('foo'); //get_class == Model
$model-loadBar(9); //loads data and populates
$model-setBar('bar');
$model-save(); //saves
}
Any input on the best option - or alternative - would be most appreciated.

RE: [PHP] how call a variable in a text
True however K.I.S.S would say , if you can use it like
echo “This is a statement {$Blah}.”;
echo “This is also a statement {$objBlah-BlahString}.”;
echo “This is also a statement {$tBlah[‘BlahKey’]}.”;
You should do it so you are always using the same expected format, cleaner for
readability and training other people to understand how you code.
This is my personal thoughts on it, everyone has their own prefs.

The {} only become really useful when you're trying to reference arrays within
a string:
$var = array('great', 'boring');
$text = this is {$var[0]}.;
Without the curly braces, PHP wouldn't be able to figure out whether you wanted
the end string to be 'This is great.' or 'This is [0].' despite the variable
itself clearly being an array.
Thanks,

RE: [PHP] Built-in Debugging
I have to disagree, while Exception handling and the like have their place. Sometimes when you develop you want to stop execution and look at your memory stack to make sure you didn't over look something. Especially if you are relying on someone else code and it's not a project owned 100% by you. Just my thoughts, they have their place I use PhpEd, because it facilitates this nicely and it VERY customizable from a short hand perspective. -Original Message- From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:a...@ashleysheridan.co.uk] Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 8:05 AM To: Al Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Built-in Debugging On Fri, 2009-10-16 at 09:04 -0400, Al wrote: Bob McConnell wrote: From: Raymond Irving Will be ever see built-in debugging features for PHP? I do not expect there would be. Debuggers are more likely to be provided by the IDE. For example, in MS-Windows, Visual Studio is the IDE and can include any of several compilers. It also includes the debugger, and uses the same front end for all languages. Of course, Microsoft has it much easier since they only support one hardware platform (x86) and one OS. Unlike the rest of the world where tools are more likely to be portable. For an IDE with debug capabilities, try NetBeans. I am sure there are others, but that is the only one I have actually looked at. Bob McConnell phpEdit, a super IDE, has an extensive suite of integrated debug tools. Real coders don't use debugging tools, comments and output statements are all you need ;) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk No virus found in this outgoing message.
