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:

As a C programmer, I am a nut on efficiency and speed and I have been trying to read up on efficient PHP coding practices (besides obvious general coding practices). So can anyone offer any links or experiences? ed Depends what kind of efficiency you are looking for, and the type of application you're writing. 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 ScottH@eac.com 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
