I don't see why this is such a problem for you. -- CaPS On Tue, 10 Oct 2000, Wico de Leeuw wrote: > At 02:35 10-10-00 -0700, Lars Torben Wilson wrote: > >wico@cnh.nl writes: > > > From: wico@cnh.nl > > > Operating system: linux > > > PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (10/10/2000) > > > PHP Bug Type: Performance problem > > > Bug description: count and pointers > > > > > > Hiya > > > > > > $ADLIB_FILE is a file, size = 9mb > > > > > > $ADLIB_DATA = file($ADLIB_FILE); > > > $ADLIB_COUNT = count($ADLIB_DATA); > > > echo time() - $test .
