[PHP] Making PHP faster?
I'm using PHP to load data into a PostgresQL database. The script works fine but it is a bit slow. It's taking about 30 minutes to load about 15,000 items. This is mainly because of all the error checking and many redundant queries I am running. This program is a one-off thing. Are there any simple ways for me to make PHP run faster? I'm already using persistent DB connections. I was thinking along the lines increasing it's memory usage, turning off error checking, getting it to optimize the code on the fly, etc ...? Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Making PHP faster?
I don't know any good ways of making PHP go faster, but may I suggest that the time you use in coding and figuring out ways to make PHP faster would be greater than the time you have saved by using such features... If this is a one of thing I think 30minutes is better than 15minutes plus 60minutes of code changes/tweaks..

I am not looking to tweak my code. I am asking for ways to tell PHP when it is running to use as much memory as it wants, to hog the CPU if it wants, and if there is such a thing to compile itself with speed optimization in mind instead of optimizing for code size.

Re: [PHP] Making PHP faster?
Andrew, It's true that "the time you use in coding and figuring out ways to make PHP faster would be greater than..." The task mentioned might be a "one-off thing" NOW. However, the techniques that we can learn can also be applied in future task, so, I'm still interested in the answer to the original question... - E I don't know any good ways of making PHP go faster, but may I suggest that the time you use in coding and figuring out ways to make PHP faster would be greater than the time you have saved by using such features...

Re: [PHP] Making PHP faster?
HI, I thing, you have to find out WHAT is really slow part, I don't think it is PHP what's slow, as you didn't write more about your project, try to find out the bottleneck in few steps, for example turn off error-checking, then put it back on and turn off execution of INSERT queries, then switch back and turn off SELECT queries till u find out :). May be in Zend Studio, there is profiler, so you can try it out, or you can add some timers in your code to find out where your machine spends time, there are many ways. You may find out that you have to optimize your db queries or database model. As I don't know, and don't want to know :), details, I can give you only very common advices. Hint, if you are doing redundant queries, don't do that! Do it only once, store result in an array and next time use it, its much more faster than asking db! cheers Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: I'm using PHP to load data into a PostgresQL database.

I am not interested in making my program more efficient I just want to set the proper PHP environment variable that will let PHP run as fast as it can. What are those variables? Variables that let PHP use more memory, use more CPU, compile more efficient code. I am using PHP as a programming language and not as a script language to generate HTML for web pages. There must be some PHP options I can turn off that will let PHP run a bit fater no? Jc -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
