note 81704 added to function.xml-parse-into-struct

In response to Anonymous' post at 26-Feb-2008 11:50: Saying that you "don't understand everything" isn't going to get you very popular - you should understand the code you use. foreach isn't *slow* in PHP, it is actually faster than the equivalent for-construct (which, in many cases, isn't available). The reason your script is slow is simply your use of xml_parse_into_struct - it reads the whole XML-string and doesn't return until it has parsed and validated it all. If you're looking for efficiency, you'll have to use the more low-level xml_parser_create, xml_set_*_handler functions. Then make sure you don't keep everything in a huge array before outputting it (at least don't if you're going for efficiency). ---- Server IP: 87.54.44.10 Probable Submitter: 87.58.61.162 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81704 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81704 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81704 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
