<div id="Info">
<div id="page">
<div id="container">
            <?php
$g = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['g']);
$query = "SELECT * FROM pinkpanther_games WHERE Gallery_no = '$g'";
$results = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed ($_query) - " . mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
echo "<h1>" . $row['Day_Played'] . " vs " . $row['Opponent'] . "</h1>";
?>
<!-- Start Advanced Gallery Html Containers -->
<div id="gallery" class="content">
<div id="controls" class="controls"></div>
<div class="slideshow-container">

$year = $row['Year_Played'];
$day = $row['Day_Played'];
$scheck = $row['Sessions'];
if ($scheck == 1){
$sessions = "Session1";
}else{
$sessions = "Session2";
}
if ($x == 0){
echo "<li> <a  class='thumb' href='../images/nopics.jpg' title=''><img src='../images/nopicsthumb.jpg ' /></a></li>";
}else if ($x == 10000){
echo "<li> <a  class='thumb' href='../images/coming.jpg' title=''><img src='../images/comingthumb.jpg ' /></a></li>";
}else{
while ($y <= $x){

Hi everyone,

I was discussing this topic with one of my friends and both of us can't give a real answer to this.

Example:

class test {
    function a(){
      $obj = new DB_TableObject();
      
      //blabla bla
      
      $this->b($obj);
   }

   function b($object){
      $object->getResults();
   }
}



class test {
   function a(){
      $obj = new DB_TableObject();

      //blabla bla

      $this->b($obj);
   }

   function b(){
      $obj = new DB_TableObject();
      $object->getResults();
   }
}


Which one is better? The first or the second solution?

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...

this is pretty decent right?

Code: [Select]
mySQL_array SPEED TEST - [ 30,000 Numbers ] - SERIALIZED with BASE64 ENCODING AND GZ COMPRESSION

          52.8KiB WRITE ARRAY in: 0.15 seconds.
          52.8KiB READ ARRAY in: 0.03 seconds.
          52.8KiB ROUND TRIP in: 0.18 seconds. (approx: 3.41 milliseconds per KiB)

I am currently using PHP 5.3.2 on IIS 7 and I am wondering how can I write a download script with resume and speed limit. After looking for a while, I found this script that works on speed limit:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$local_file = 'file.zip';
$download_file = 'name.zip';

// set the download rate limit (=> 20,5 kb/s)
$download_rate = 20.5;
if(file_exists($local_file) && is_file($local_file))
{
    header('Cache-control: private');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Length: '.filesize($local_file));
    header('Content-Disposition: filename='.$download_file);

    flush();
    $file = fopen($local_file, "r");
    while(!feof($file))
    {
        // send the current file part to the browser
        print fread($file, round($download_rate * 1024));
        // flush the content to the browser
        flush();
        // sleep one second
        sleep(1);
    }
    fclose($file);}
else {
    die('Error: The file '.$local_file.' does not exist!');
}

?>
Though there is a big problem that the download file comes without extension. For example if the original file is file.ext then the client will receive it as file without any extension. I just want to use octet-stream since I have no interest in streaming or other things, but I really want the client to have the extension also.

So could you please tell me what is wrong with the above script, and please show me a way to do resume download. Thank you very much for your help.
