RE: [PHP] High bandwidth application tips

One of the things I have suggested to the customer is offloading some of the work to a different server. For example, he wants to email a weekly message to all the users with information on records that match their search criteria. I suggested setting up a second server that handles this and other admin function while the main server takes care of the users. Does this sound like a good idea? thanks, Luis -----Original Message----- From: Jay Blanchard [mailto:jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 2:10 PM To: Marco Tabini; shiflett@php.net Cc: Luis Lebron; Php-General (E-mail) Subject: RE: [PHP] High bandwidth application tips [snip] > limit the number of times you need to hit the database. > I second Chris on this. [/snip] I third that. The problem can become especially apparent in large databases containing millions of records. Other than that just code cleanly and document, document, document.
