PHP - How To Do A Mysql/php Performance Test?
I want to do a test while refreshing the page 100 times with 500 rows in a table, and then without 500 rows in a table and with different kind of php code, i need to do some type of testing to get results back in to show which way is faster for mysql/php.
Any idea how to do this any scripts out there or a built in php/mysql function? Thanks Similar TutorialsAlright guys, I see people recommending prepared statements (PDO/MySQLi) and saying that they are way to go these days. However upon doing a bit more research, I've found that prepared statements, PDO in particular, is lacking in terms of performance, especially using SELECT statements. Now I'm starting a new project, which is basically a text based game with lots of queries and DB interaction, so I'm really interested in knowing what's the best approach for me. I was leaning towards PDO but I don't want it crawling my server under heavy load. I appreciate any advices or first hand experiences on this. This topic has been moved to Beta Test Your Stuff!. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=342258.0 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... A few questions that if I was more knowledgeable about MySQL (such as the query log that I've heard of). - Does mysqli::multi_query() make multiple requests to the server or just one? - If it is just splitting the queries on the semicolon and then making multiple requests, is it still faster than looping and querying in PHP? - Does it take less memory than, lets say, mysql_query() foreach query? - Is it faster than, lets say again, mysql_query() looped? The last 2 I can probably just benchmark myself but I'm hoping someone will know off had. Background (blah blah blah) I'm working on a lean rapid development framework for myself (and maybe others eventually) to use. Much like Cake and other frameworks it does a lot of queries, often times more then you need. The sacrifice of course is performance VS ease of development, but I'm trying to not make a martyr out of my framework :-) I've observed on many occasions that simple queries can take more time than a complex query on seemingly random occasions. My understanding is that this is because of the connection, not the real amount of time it took for the server to query. I figure if I avoid multiple requests to the server I will cut down on the time everything takes. My theory is based on the same concept of combining all your CSS and JS files into single files to avoid dozens of HTTP requests which slow down page load time. 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? I am very new to PHP and have tried various techniques but I am getting a 500 error when clicking on the export button to download a csv report. I'm not sure why the previous developer did it this way. Is there a better why in PHP to make this code better? Willing to understand and learn from an PHP expert.

I am wondering since in php when you write string in " " quotes php will look if there is any variable and if it is it will read that variable and replace variable name with that value inside the string. However when i use ' ' quotes php will not look for any variables inside that string. So my question is when you write a really big application is it good to always use ' ' quotes when you can instead of " " ones. Does that have an impact on performance. Thanks Hello,
Any ideas why server resources not exhausted on the code below, when my.cnf and php.ini are both set to use half the resources each? PHP & MySQL will both utilize all allotted resources on other scripts, so it's not a tuning problem. There is no script-side tuning.
The bottleneck: pdo select as shown below
foreach($bigList as $listObject) { $sql = $dbl->prepare("SELECT * FROM fewMillionRows WHERE indexedCol1=:indexedCol1 AND indexedCol2=:indexedCol2 AND indexedCol3=:indexedCol3 AND indexedCol4=:indexedCol4 LIMIT 1"); $sql->execute($preparedValues); $return = $sql->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); }On a dedicated server with 8GB RAM, the server uses >5% cpu/ram but takes a long time to finish the script. Second Question What are some alternative designs? Because the column values all happen to be alphanumeric, I could select the entire table and store it in an array. Accessing the keys like so: indexedCol1indexedCol2indexedCol3indexedCol4. Results: MyISAM - Select Whole Table: 30 seconds MyISAM – Select Individual Rows (10k times) – 68 seconds InnoDB – Select Whole Table: 30 seconds InnoDB – Select Individual Rows (10k times) – 131 seconds I am surprised it takes so long to select a whole table. The server resources use 1% for about 20 seconds, then cpu/ram jump to 30%+ for about 10 seconds. This is still drastically faster than individual selects. In this instance, $bigList is over 500k items. At 68 seconds per 10k rows it’s absurdly long. Building an array with key/values is the only realistic way I currently know of, but I suspect there is a much better way of doing this. As far as I know, I cannot do a select like so: SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE (column1,column2,column3) IN ((val1, val2,val3), (val4, val5,val6)) There is no way to determine whether a row was found for each entry as far as I know. Do I really have to care about the amount of spaces/tabs I have in my program? Is my code good? Example: Code: [Select] class SportListout{ public $start; public $db; private $junk = 'This is junk data. Unable to find it \'s parents. It is recommended that you delete this data.'; function __construct($db){ $this -> db = $db; $this -> setStartingParent(); } function searchListout($sp){ $notif = 'There are no search results that match that criteria.'; if(strlen($sp) > 0){ if(strlen($sp) < 3){ This is my common text format. Is this ok or should I not make spaces in between functions? Hi All, I have written the following to validate my dynamic includes, one question is i will be using sessions to control user access to certain pages. Obviously the session_start() has to go into my index.php file. Can anyone see any problems with this or my dynamic include validation code. My page varilable is populated using the mod_rewirte function in appache. <?PHP include('inc/settings.inc.php'); if(isset($_GET['page'])) { //remove slashes $page = stripslashes($_GET['page']); //rebuild the extension and file name $filename = 'lib/'.$page.'.php'; //Check to see if the file exists in lib if (file_exists($filename)) { //Dynamic Switch $allowed = array( array("test", "New Customers"), array("home", "Home Page"), ); $iffed = false; $get_section = $_GET['page']; //Create a dynamic switch to check for files being in my allowed array foreach($allowed as $rd) { if($get_section == $rd[0]) { $iffed = $rd; $content = $filename; foreach($rd as $value) { $page_title = $value; } } } if($iffed === false) { //File is not in my include list. die( "Page does not pass the validated inclusion list." ); } } else { //Page does not exist in my lib folder. die('Page does not exist, please contact the administrator.'); } } else { // If no page is requested then default home. $filename = 'lib/home.php'; $content = '1'; $page_title = 'Home'; } ?> Thanks in advance. Sam I can't figure out how to optimize my Zend framework performance. My query executes in 200ms but my page is taking almost 60 seconds to load. While checking the zend toolbar it shows that my page size is 14mb and I don't know why. The routes and options size is really large but I don't know what is causing this. Any ideas?

Hi All, I'm new to PHP and I'm probably making a fundamental mistake somewhere, however, enough time wasted, I thought you might be able to shed some light on my problem. I basically have a php script running with nginx and fast_cgi. The whole script is just a large switch statement that does some matching against the request strings and returns a template rendered by Tenjin. It all works fine and it's quite performant based on a simple curl-loader test. The simple performance figures are taken from curl-loader and show 400 CAPS (Call Attempts Per Second). The test is 200 clients requesting the same url for 100 cycles. The problem arises when I introduce a "sleep" into the php code for 150 milliseconds, which is my basic idea of introducing latency to the system. The performance for the same test of 200 clients * 100 cycles produces 55 CAPS which is a huge drop in performance based on 150 millisecond delay. The sleep method used is "usleep" and I've also tried "time_nanosleep". I know there's not a huge amount of info there but based on performance figures above, is there something fundamental/trivial I'm missing or doing??? Are there any known issues with the sleep methods??? I've tried setting 'set_time_limit(0)' before the sleep call but that didn't help. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.. Is there a performance or security issue when embedding HTML code to be written to a page using a series of ECHO statements within PHP? Here's two examples: <?php // Some PHP code echo "<p>Hello, World</p>\n"; // More php code ?> versus: <?php> // Some PHP script commands ?> <p>Hello World\n"; <?php // More PHP code ?> Is there a performance issue or potential security flaw that would make the first example any worse/better than the second? (Is one method more "secure" than the other method, I guess is what I'm asking?) I like the ease of just throwing in HTML within a PHP script without having toe escape quote marks, etc. But, I'm a bit concerned about security since whatever technique I use will be incorporated into a "commercial" production website. I'm looking at shared hosting provided by GoDaddy. On the shared hosting they offer, entry process limitations range from 100 to 125.
I was also told this by customer support:
Entry Processes are the number of connections your account can process simultaneously. Understanding what constitutes a connection is important, though, because it's not as straightforward as "the number of visitors on your website." Here's what constitutes as a connection: Your website delivering data via HTTP Your hosting account transferring data via SSH A Cron job processing However, the connections are only counted while they're processing. As soon as they've finished, they no longer count as processes. For an example, if a visitor comes to your site and your home page takes .1 seconds to load and generates only one HTTP connection, that visitor counted as one process for .1 seconds. Even though that visitor is still "viewing your site," they no longer count as a connection until they do something else that generates another connection, like move to a new page. So what is an average user count that I can conclude? I don't want to think that "it's not possible" I just need to know what limitations I'm looking at. I'm also curious what kind of error would be generated if more than 100 or 125 people tried to access the server simulataneously. Or perhaps employ an access delay of some sort.

My question is that during the streaming, I would like to keep the code in PHP so that others don't copy it. I can't find any solution. Any suggestions. Thanks, Faisal Hi 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, Hi
so i've been learning php for 3 mouth now by reading php 6 Bible and watching lynda and so on...
i was looking for a job in few past weeks and i found out i don't have that kind of self confidence to go for it ! you know when they say : PHP Project Manager , it scar's me...
the thing is , i know all about basic to medium php , array...MySQL....all those essentials but i don't know what do they want from a php web developer .
so i began to search for intern job somewhere and i told myself i should bust my ass 24/7 for few mouth and after that i ll be real php guy and it seems like there is no place to reach not php but almost all programming languages
a year ago i was searching for the same thing but in networking section and there was 100's of intern ship jobs but in programming there is none !
so i want some one to give me (us) simple to pro real life projects .
what do they want php junior or senior developer's for ? what do they do?
what is the most common needs ?
what is the most essential things to know?
what is a hired php developer should do in the office?
some people doesn't need you in the office and want you to work from home , they give you project's , what's that?
is there any source in the web to offer what is need ?
i know its too much , but this was my last option , so if anyone can help i would practically owe him/her my whole future salaries...
I am trying to select text to display on condition of the current date. I've set a Unix timestamp for the current date: <?php $todays_date = date("Y-m-d"); $today = strtotime($todays_date); ?> Next I test for the first condition. I want the text to appear for 2 weeks then terminate: <?php $exp_date = "2011-05-09"; $expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date); $start_date = strtotime("-14 days", $expiration_date); if ($start_date < $today && $expiration_date > $today) { echo "<h2>Special Event #1</h2>"; } elseif { At this point, I want to set the exp_date for the next event and test again, but I don't know how to do it. The techniques I've tried appear to evaluate as false and display the default text which follows the final "else": } else { echo "<h2>Default Text</h2>"; } ?> I got this script for change language and don't know is it working. In this array are supported language s for this site, so if you come from some of this 7 country should open your language, for others english version. Don't know any other way to test it! http://www.lacman.hr/index.php Code: [Select] $jezici = array("hr", "en", "de", "it", "fr", "cz", "pl"); write the algorithm to draw a sphere, the function should have parameters 1. diameter (how many line) 2. character (use which character to draw) eg, draw_sphere(10, '8') will produce: 88888 8888888888888 8888888888888888888 888888888888888888888 88888888888888888888888 88888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888 8888888888888888888 8888888888888 88888 the above is a sphere of 10 lines, which is drawn using the character "8" i cant figure out how to do it, thanks in advanved! |
