PHP - In_array() Very Slow Performance
I have the following simple code to test against collision on a primary key I am creating:
Code: [Select] $machine_ids = array(); for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) { //Generate machine id returns a 15 character alphanumeric string $mid = Functions::generate_machine_id(); if(in_array($mid, $machine_ids)) { die("Collision!"); } else { $machine_ids[] = $mid; } } die("Success!"); Any idea why this is taking minutes to run? Anyway to speed it up? Similar TutorialsHi I have a function that strips out lines from files. I'm handling with large files(more than 100Mb). I have the PHP Memory with 256MB but the function that handles with the strip out of lines blows up with a 100MB CSV File. What the function must do is this: Originally I have the CSV like: Code: [Select] Copyright (c) 2007 MaxMind LLC. All Rights Reserved. locId,country,region,city,postalCode,latitude,longitude,metroCode,areaCode 1,"O1","","","",0.0000,0.0000,, 2,"AP","","","",35.0000,105.0000,, 3,"EU","","","",47.0000,8.0000,, 4,"AD","","","",42.5000,1.5000,, 5,"AE","","","",24.0000,54.0000,, 6,"AF","","","",33.0000,65.0000,, 7,"AG","","","",17.0500,-61.8000,, 8,"AI","","","",18.2500,-63.1667,, 9,"AL","","","",41.0000,20.0000,, When I pass the CSV file to this function I got: Code: [Select] locId,country,region,city,postalCode,latitude,longitude,metroCode,areaCode 1,"O1","","","",0.0000,0.0000,, 2,"AP","","","",35.0000,105.0000,, 3,"EU","","","",47.0000,8.0000,, 4,"AD","","","",42.5000,1.5000,, 5,"AE","","","",24.0000,54.0000,, 6,"AF","","","",33.0000,65.0000,, 7,"AG","","","",17.0500,-61.8000,, 8,"AI","","","",18.2500,-63.1667,, 9,"AL","","","",41.0000,20.0000,, It only strips out the first line, nothing more. The problem is the performance of this function with large files, it blows up the memory. The function is: public function deleteLine($line_no, $csvFileName) { // this function strips a specific line from a file // if a line is stripped, functions returns True else false // // e.g. // deleteLine(-1, xyz.csv); // strip last line // deleteLine(1, xyz.csv); // strip first line // Assigna o nome do ficheiro $filename = $csvFileName; $strip_return=FALSE; $data=file($filename); $pipe=fopen($filename,'w'); $size=count($data); if($line_no==-1) $skip=$size-1; else $skip=$line_no-1; for($line=0;$line<$size;$line++) if($line!=$skip) fputs($pipe,$data[$line]); else $strip_return=TRUE; return $strip_return; } It is possible to refactor this function to not blow up with the 256MB PHP Memory? Give me some clues. Best Regards, would Java handle it faster? can PHP be made to handle it as fast? I really need help. check out my website and search cars for sale, then any distance and then 37919 zip. it takes too long and there are only 3351 cars on there now. before, when it only had about 2200 cars it was really fast. only about a 1000 cars made it slow. what could it be? nabacar.com It was returning results in about 15 seconds or less with 2200 cars. Now it is over a minute with only 1000 cars on it. I will have 150,000 on it when I get this sorted. http://nabacar.com some java was written to speed things up, but it didn't seem to help. Is it the server or the code causing this? I can't access an array value in a multidimensional array. The if should be echoing true. $news['companyid'] is equal to 1, but I must not be using in_array correctly. Code: [Select] echo '<pre>'; print_r($own_company); if (in_array($news['companyid'], $own_company)) { echo "true"; } Output Array ( => Array ( [companyid] => 1 [companyname] => Oaysus [companytag] => [companywebsite] => http://oaysus.com [country] => 1 [state] => 0 [city] => [industry] => 4 [stage] => 2 [capitalrequested] => [guestviews] => 0 [iviews] => 3 [eviews] => 3 ) ) Hello: I'm trying to compare two mySQL result sets (for determining when to check a checkbox in an input form). $dataList['listname'] is my needle. (only the checkboxes I want to check) $data['listname'] is my haystack (the list of all checkboxes) Code: [Select] while($dataList = mysql_fetch_array($runListQuery)) { $checked = ''; echo $data['listname'].'<br /><br />'; echo $dataList['listname'].' :: ' . $data['listname'] . '::' . (string)array_search ($dataList['listname'],$data['listname'],false) .'<br>'; echo in_array($dataList['listname'],$data['listname']); echo '<br>----------------------<br>'; var_dump($data['listname']); echo '<br>----------------------<br>'; var_dump ($dataList['listname']); echo '<br>----------------------<br>'; if(in_array($dataList['listname'],$data['listname'],false)) { echo 'found!!!!!!!!!!!'; $checked = 'CHECKED'; } echo '<tr>'; echo '<td>' . $dataList['listname'] . '</td>'; echo '<td><input type="checkbox" '. $checked . ' name="'.$dataList['listname'].'" />'; echo '</tr>'; } I never hit the 'found!!!!!!!!' string. My output is below: Code: [Select] list-charter halwasiya :: list-charter:: ---------------------- string(12) "list-charter" ---------------------- string(9) "halwasiya" ---------------------- list-charter halwits :: list-charter:: ---------------------- string(12) "list-charter" ---------------------- string(7) "halwits" ---------------------- list-charter list-charter :: list-charter:: ---------------------- string(12) "list-charter" ---------------------- string(12) "list-charter" ---------------------- I know this works and that's why I'm puzzled. I'm bringing in data from a textarea and trying to compare it. index.php Code: [Select] <form name"fruit-farm" action="fruit-check.php" method="POST"> <textarea name="fruit-list"> Apples Bananas Oranges Pickles Hamburgers Grapes </textarea> <input type"submit" name="submit" value="Check The Fruit"> </form> fruit-check.php Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //Bring in the data $fruit-list = explode("\n", $_POST['fruit-list']); //Search for Hamburgers $hamburgers = "Hamburgers"; if (in_array($hamburgers,$fruit-list)){ echo "That is not a fruit"; } } What's puzzling me is that it's not working. It must be something blantently obvious. It has something to do with the '$fruit-list' array and how it is being brought into the form. It posts fine. The reason I think this is the case is because if I simply create an array that is identical to the form coming in it works: Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { //Bring in the data $fruit-list = explode("\n", $_POST['fruit-list']); //Search for Hamburgers $hamburders = "Hamburgers"; $fruit-list = array('Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges', 'Pickles', 'Hamburgers', 'Grapes); if (in_array($hamburders,$fruit-list)){ echo "That is not a fruit"; } } When I 'print_r' both arrays they both look identical. What is wrong and/or different with the way I'm bringing in the textarea that's causing this not to work? I am trying to pull the username for everyone who appears within an array. How would i go about this? something like this maybe? SELECT * FROM users WHERE username (in_array($users)) hi i wants to skip few categories from xml feed but have problem, here is my code which is working: foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) { foreach ($item->children() as $child) { if ($child->getName() == 'category') { $categories[] = (string) $child; } } if((in_array("one",$categorie) || in_array("two",$categorie) in_array("three",$categorie)) { continue; } // other code here } and here is what i wants to separate categories in $skipcats but its not working. $skipcats = array("one","two","three"); foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) { foreach ($item->children() as $child) { if ($child->getName() == 'category') { $categories[] = (string) $child; } } foreach ($skipcats as $skip) { if(in_array($skip,$categorie)) { continue; } } // other code here } please what i am missing. thanks for any guidance . I have a section in one of my scripts that checks for a value in array and the value doesn't exist in the array then it add it. This works fine for single array but not for mulit-dimensional arrays. Has anyone had a similar problem and knows a good solution? Code: [Select] if(in_array($words[$i], $searchWords)){ //Do nothing }else{ $searchWords[] = $words[$i]; } Hi folks! I have two arrays: 1) print_r($users1); Array ( => 1 [1] => 2609 [2] => 2612 [3] => 2620 [4] => 2621 [5] => 2624 [6] => 2627 [7] => 2629 ) 2) print_r($users2); Array ( => 1 [1] => 2609 [2] => 2610 [3] => 2611 [4] => 2612 [5] => 2617 [6] => 2618 [7] => 2619 [8] => 2620 [9] => 2621 [10] => 2624 [11] => 2625 [12] => 2626 [13] => 2627 [14] => 2628 [15] => 2629 ) now why does nothing return when I use in_array? if(in_array($users1,$users2)) return true; all values in $users1 is in $users2... Please help, need help fast! Thank you I can't seem to understand why in_array is NOT finding the 'needle'. php file: Code: [Select] <?PHP $search = "WS11"; $valid_codes = file("outcode2.txt"); if(in_array($search, $valid_codes)){ echo "yes"; }else{ echo "No"; } echo $search . "<hr>"; echo "<PRE>"; print_r($valid_codes); echo "</pre>"; ?> outcode2.txt: Code: [Select] WS10 WS11 WS12 WS13 WS14 WS15 WS11 is in the outcode2.txt It is not an issue of case. Perhaps my old eyes just keep missing the problem. Any help is appreciated. Code: [Select] $colorarray = isset($_POST['form']['color']) ? intval($_POST['form']['color']) : 0; $color = array( "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16" ); if (in_array($color, $colorarray)) { echo "search found"; exit; }else{ echo "hacker"; exit; } i submit my $_POST['form']['color'] as 1 through 16 and it always says hacker? This is PHP 101, but I'm struggling to see the obvious. I have the query below which brings back a list of quizids. I put them into an array using mysql_fetch_array. I then want to check to see if a certain quizid is actually in the quizzes table, so I thought I could simply us in_array. But it's only checking the first quizid. That doesn't make sense to me. Isn't mysql_fetch_array creating an array with all values automatically? If I actually have to use a "while" loop or something, can someone help me with how to write that code most efficiently. Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT quizid FROM quizzes"; $getquizids = mysql_query($query, $connection); if (!$getquizids) { die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error()); } else { $allquizids=mysql_fetch_array($getquizids); if (in_array($_GET['quizid'], $allquizids)) { //continue since quiz exists } else { redirect_to('index.php'); } } Im going to use a large array of arrays, each of one having a lot of values and some sub arrays. My question is... is faster to use arrays or is better to have a object to acces using methods and all? i suppose objects are slower... Also i was planing in use arrays with string keys in nearly all places, normally these are slower, but in php hashes and arrays are the same tipe so i dont know... Hi there, I am currently using the in_array() function to check the user's country with the country in the ShippingProfile table. I have a function that returns the shipment profile info from the table. $myshipProfile = filter_shippingprofile(array(......)); And in the $myshipProfile I get the profile info with the countryID. Now I can check the user's country in the array: if(in_array($_SESSION['userCountryId'], $myshipProfile)) { print "yes country is found"; } I works fine so far. But there is a slight problem to it. I did a quick: print_r($myshipProfile); And the output was: Array ( [shippingprofileID] => 14 [supplierId] => 66 [shippingprofilename] => ProfName1 [shippingto] => CustomCountries [ShipRegionCountries] => 66 [shippingcost] => 10 Notice the supplierId and the ShipRegionCountries has the same value. And now when I try to perform in_array() it will return true every time even if the ShipRegionCountries is not 66 because as supplierID is 66. You see the conflict. Therefore, can we write like this: if(in_array($_SESSION['userCountryId'], $myshipProfile['ShipRegionCountries'])) { print "yes country is found"; } I get no ouput for this. Whats the correct way to check only the 'ShipRegionCountries' in the array? Thank you I have something like below Code: [Select] $j = explode("-", $ROW['options']); if(array_search("src_str", $j) == false) echo '_no'; // This doesn't work Also i tried Code: [Select] $j = explode("-", $ROW['options']); if(!in_array("src_str", $j)) echo '_no'; // This also doesn't work Is this bug or am i doing something wrong? Can someone please help me figure this out: I have a normal text file with 3 lines in it, every line contain one date i.e 12112011 (12.11-2011). I put the content of that file in an array, and want to compair the dates in the text file against the date generated from the loop. Problem is, i can only get a match for the last date listed in the text file no matter what.. If i have 4 dates in the file, it only style the last date. Thanks! --- CODE SNIPPET --- $day_num = 1; $days_in_month = 30; $month = 11; $year = 2011; //Access the file containing already taken dates and load them in an array: $date_array = file("test.txt"); //count up the days, untill we've done all of them in the month and check them against the dates in the text file: while ($day_num <= $days_in_month) { // Set the variable $date to be checked against the content of the array: $date = $day_num . $month . $year; if (in_array($date, $date_array)) { echo "<td class='color_green'>$day_num</td>"; //print_r($date_array); } else { echo "<td>$day_num</td><br />"; } $day_num++; } Hey guys, I have this super simple code which will not work and I'm very confused as to why.
