note 52881 added to function.echo

In response to Ryan's post with his echobig() function, using str_split wastes memory resources for what you are doing. If all you want to do is echo smaller chunks of a large string, I found the following code to perform better and it will work in PHP versions 3+ <?php function echobig($string, $bufferSize = 8192) { // suggest doing a test for Integer & positive bufferSize for ($chars=strlen($string)-1,$start=0;$start <= $chars;$start += $bufferSize) { echo substr($string,$start,$buffer_size); } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52881 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52881&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52881&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52881&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52881&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52881&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52881&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
