Collection of practical tips for PHP website development_PHP tutorial

Use single quotes instead of double quotes to enclose the string, which is faster. Because PHP will search for variables in strings surrounded by double quotes, single quotes will not. Note: only echo can do this, it is a "function" that can take multiple strings as parameters (Annotation: PHP Manual It is said that echo is a language structure, not a real function, so the function is enclosed in double quotes).

1. If you can define a class method as static, try to define it as static, and its speed will be increased by nearly 4 times.

2. $row[’id’] is 7 times faster than $row[id].

3. Echo is faster than print, and uses multiple parameters of echo (annotation: refers to using commas instead of periods) instead of string concatenation, such as echo $str1, $str2.

4. Determine the maximum number of loops before executing the for loop. Do not calculate the maximum value every loop. It is best to use foreach instead.

5. Unregister unused variables, especially large arrays, to free up memory.

6. Try to avoid using __get, __set, __autoload.

7. require_once() is expensive.

8. Try to use absolute paths when including files, because it avoids the speed of PHP searching for files in include_path, and the time required to parse the operating system path will be less.

9. If you want to know the time when the script starts executing (annotation: the server receives the client request), it is better to use $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_TIME’] than time().

10. Functions replace regular expressions to complete the same function.

11. The str_replace function is faster than the preg_replace function, but the strtr function is four times more efficient than the str_replace function.

12. If a string replacement function accepts arrays or characters as parameters, and the parameter length is not too long, you can consider writing an additional replacement code so that each parameter passed is one character instead of just one line. The code accepts arrays as parameters for query and replace.

13. It is better to use a selective branch statement (translation annotation: switch case) than to use multiple if, else if statements.

14. Using @ to block error messages is very inefficient, extremely inefficient.

15. Opening the mod_deflate module of apache can improve the browsing speed of web pages.

16. The database connection should be closed when finished using it, and do not use long connections.

17. Error messages are expensive.

18. Increasing local variables in methods is the fastest. Almost as fast as calling local variables in a function.

19. Incrementing a global variable is 2 times slower than incrementing a local variable.

20. Incrementing an object property (such as: $this->prop++) is 3 times slower than incrementing a local variable.

21. Incrementing an undefined local variable is 9 to 10 times slower than incrementing a predefined local variable.

22. Just defining a local variable without calling it in a function will also slow down (to the same extent as incrementing a local variable). PHP will probably check to see if a global variable exists.

(Compare with the tips below)

Calling isset() happens to be faster than strlen(), because unlike the latter, isset(), as a language construct, means that its execution does not require function lookup and letter lowercase. That is, you actually don't spend much overhead in the top-level code checking the string length.

34. When executing the increment or decrement of variable $i, $i++ will be slower than ++$i. This difference is specific to PHP and does not apply to other languages, so please don't modify your C or Java code and expect it to be instantly faster, it won't work. ++$i is faster because it only requires 3 instructions (opcodes), while $i++ requires 4 instructions. Post-increment actually creates a temporary variable that is subsequently incremented. Prefix increment increases directly on the original value. This is a form of optimization, as done by Zend's PHP optimizer. It's a good idea to keep this optimization in mind because not all command optimizers do the same optimizations, and there are a large number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and servers that don't have command optimizers installed.

35. Not everything must be object-oriented (OOP), object-oriented is often very expensive, and each method and object call consumes a lot of memory.

36. It is not necessary to use classes to implement all data structures. Arrays are also very useful.

37. Don’t subdivide the methods too much. Think carefully about which code you really intend to reuse?

38. You can always decompose code into methods when you need to.

39. Try to use a large number of PHP built-in functions.

40. If there are a large number of time-consuming functions in the code, you can consider implementing them using C extensions.
41. Profile your code. The checker will tell you which parts of the code take how much time. The Xdebug debugger includes inspection routines that evaluate the overall integrity of your code and reveal bottlenecks in your code.
42. mod_zip can be used as an Apache module to instantly compress your data and reduce data transmission volume by 80%.

43. When file_get_contents can be used instead of file, fopen, feof, fgets and other series of methods, try to use file_get_contents because it is much more efficient! But please pay attention to the PHP version problem of file_get_contents when opening a URL file;

44. Conduct file operations as little as possible, although PHP’s file operation efficiency is not low;

45. Optimize the Select SQL statement and perform as few Insert and Update operations as possible (I was criticized for updating);

46. Use PHP internal functions as much as possible (but in order to find a function that does not exist in PHP, I wasted time that could have been written a custom function, a matter of experience!);

47. Do not declare variables inside the loop, especially large variables: objects (this seems to be not just a problem in PHP, right?);

48. Try not to loop and nest assignments in multi-dimensional arrays;

49. Do not use regular expressions when you can use PHP’s internal string manipulation functions;

50. foreach is more efficient, try to use foreach instead of while and for loop;

51. Use single quotes instead of double quotes to quote strings;

52. "Use i+=1 instead of i=i+1. It conforms to the habits of c/c++ and is more efficient";

53. Global variables should be unset()ed after use;
