PHP - Efficientcy On Variables
Hey,
Quick question on how i should improve my efficientcy.... Currently my site loads all the main variables with a query at the top of the page then the rest of the page does what it needs with the vars. But lets say when you page refresh - no data has altered from the main variables have been changed - but currently it still queries and assigns all the variables - but i find this inefficient if the data has not changed to keep on loading them every page load with a query. Is there more efficent way to make php only query and update teh already set variables when "something" has changed... although that also leads to the problem of variables not being set if no chance has happened when the page reloads....any thoughts? Similar Tutorialsdoes anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data. Code: [Select] $xml='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <elements> <text identifier="ed9cdd4c-ae8b-4ecb-bca7-e12a5153bc02"> <value/> </text> <textarea identifier="a77f06fc-1561-453c-a429-8dd05cdc29f5"> <value><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

I have some code which needs to return a single variable from the function and stored as a variable within this page, so it can be echoed later on in the page. I couldn't get it to return as a variable, so i used "return compact();" to return the variable and "extract (myFunction());" to extract it to variables. However, when I turned on php's display errors and error reporting function, I got an error message saying "Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /my/web/site/index.php on line 6" (which is where my extract function is). This works fine with passing more than one variables through, is there another way pass one variable from a function to be stored as a variable on the page which called the function? Here is the function: Code: [Select] <?php //This is a list of numeric error codes against their text. this will return the error code as the variable $issue function checkLoginIssue() { //If there is an error code if (isset($_GET["issue"])) { //cycle through the list until the code is reached, return the text and break the switch switch ($_GET["issue"]) { case "1": $issue = '<p class="warning">Please log in to view this page</p>'; break; case "2": $issue = '<p class="warning">Wrong Username or Password</p>'; break; case "3": $issue = '<p class="warning">No user found with those details</p>'; break; } //return the variable in an array with a single value return compact('issue'); } } ?> And here is the code which calls the function: Code: [Select] <?php extract(checkLoginIssue()); ?> Hi guys, I've a developer for a pretty large website and forum, the database is exploding in size and we are now seeing a grow in the slow log. We want to be able to fix this by optimizing query's but the site is so big, we can't locate the query's themselfs as they are dynamically generated. I want to be able to tail onto the end of the query a comment containing where a function was last called. In the example below, I want the file name and line-number of where add_together() was called. Here is an example for index.php: Code: [Select] $a = 1; $b = 2; $c = add_together($a, $b); function add_together($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } Look forward to your assistance with this! Joe I'm running the latest version of MySQL on Windows 7 64-bit.
It working fine and set up correctly.
I'd like to use ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES or a variable like "%current_directory%" or "..\%current_directory%" in the configuration files for MySQL, my.ini.
Is this possible? Is my.ini a parsed file, can variables be define and used in it? Help would be much appreciated

I've got a select statement that looks like this in php. Code: [Select] $sql = "Select * from inventory where ".$fields."".$operator."".$criteria; Everything posts correctly, everything is dereferenced correctly. My only question is how do I get $criteria have single quotes around it? So that when I actually run the query it says select * from inventory where field = 'value'; I've tried Code: [Select] $sql = "Select * from inventory where ".$fields."".$operator.""'.$criteria'; $sql = "Select * from inventory where ".$fields."".$operator.""'$criteria'; and a bunch of variations like that. Thanks for you help.

I have a script that receives $_POST variables from a form. Which is better- to change the name of the $_POST variable to do script manipulations or to simple do them with the $_POST['whatever'] $whatever = $_POST['var_from_form']; or simply utilize $_POST['var_from_form'] I know it would be less typing changing it to $whatever, but does it really matter? And yes- register_globals is off. Cheers- Hi, Which one is better from performance view (CPU usage and etc)? using too many Variables or a single Associative Array or generally an Array?

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. So basically I have one index page that handles all the redirects of the content etc but the issue is there can be any number of $_GET variables in the URL. For example: index.php?v=my-account&action=password&change=true&and=hello&there=yes But how would I be able to use a rewrite rule to change all vars in the url at once to appear like this: index.php/my-account/action/password/change/true/and/hello/there/yes Thanks for your time! Hi all
I am using the following rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^news([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)(/)?$ news.php?id=$1&identifier=$2when I use the link generated I get a 404 Not Found but if I go the genuine URL e.g. www.jasondoyle69.com/news.php?id=[id]&identifier=[identifier], then the page is displayed correctly. My question is, how do I do the rewrite rule for this, where there two php variables? I have a database that holds a list of companies. the database includes and ID, and name of each company. Now when an articles gets submitted to my site it can then be related to company. We a relate a company to an article its related through its ID. What I want to do is create a function that would let me easly convert my company ID into company name within having to write out the queries over and over again in my code. Only problem is I can't get it to work. I have two files, index.php and functions.php. functions.php Code: [Select] function cname($pubid) { global $db; $company= $db->query("SELECT * FROM my_database WHERE id='$pubid'") or die(mysql_error()); while($company= $db->fetch_array($company)) { $cname = $company['name']; } return $cname; } and within index.php I put Code: [Select] echo cname($companyID); Now, when I first looked at index.php I was getting an error. I know it had something to do with me using my variables within the function and after some searching I ended up getting rid of the error by adding "global $db;" to my code. Please note that I include functions.php at the top of index.php. What am I doing wrong and why wont it work? HELP PLEASE! also note that my i've rechecked and all the database info is correct and names spelt right. Just dont know what else to do. How can i put returned values from an sql query, into variables. If the returned values from a query were; email1@com, email2@com, email3@com how would i go about puting them into variables? $value1 = (1st returned value from my sql query, in this case it would be email1@com) $value2 = (2nd returned value from my sql query, in this case it would be email2@com) $value3 = (3rd returned value from my sql query, in this case it would be email3@com) $code = $_GET['postcode']; $message = $_GET['message']; $emailad = "email@email.comuk"; $shortcode = substr($code,0,2); $result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM treesurgeons WHERE postcode like '%" . $shortcode . "%' ORDER BY companyName LIMIT 3") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<h2>Business Names:</h2>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { $message .= "\r\n". $row['email'] ; } echo nl2br ($message); mail( "$emailad", "Header","$message" ); echo "<br>" . "Thank you for using our mail form."; ?> </body> </html> Thankyou for any ideas, or suggestions. I am trying to allow users of a web page the ability to create custom Excel exports. I have some code that I use elsewhere that works to make Excel exports. When I moved the code over to my custom report page, the Excel chart contains an error saying that $csv_output is undefined and so is $data (both variables toward the end of the page). I tried declaring the variables ($csv_output = ''; and $data = '' above the Excel code, but that didn't work. Can anybody help me out? Code below...

The problem comes with renaming the photos. I need to name the photo based off of the story id. I have everything right to get the story id, but saving it as the variable is what's confusing me. Here's what I have: <?php include ("newsconnection.php");?> <?php $picturename = $_POST['newstoryid']; include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load($_FILES['uploaded_image']['tmp_name']); $image->resizeToWidth(300); $image->save('$picturename'); ?> It's the $image->save('$picturename'); line that's messing me up. Any help would be great!! |
