Re: [PHP] Optimizing Tips

[Brent Baisley]

All things being equal as your test environment (i.e. hardware, load), 
the big difference is latency on the network. You may have designed 
your application to "echo" code to the client as you create it. This 
may cause lots of small network packets which will slow things down 
considerably. You should build your web page and then send it all at 
once, either through output buffering or by storing everything in a 
variable and "echo"ing the variable at the end. This also allows you to 
take advantage of compression available in the HTTP 1.1 spec. Try and 
get you code so that a single line delivers the whole page to the 
client.

Think of it as someone saying "repeat after me". Then they proceed to 
say one word at a time, waiting for you to say the word before they 
move onto the next one. There is a lot of latency, pauses between words 
and response, in that technique.

I am a fresh PHP programmer and am part of a team developing a LAMP

to get
to it, it has become very slow even keeping in mind considerations like
connection speed .

Any pointers on what & how optimizations can be done?
