!(How to Kill PHP Performance)

1. Wrap sting in single quote instead of double quote As PHP searches variable inside "..." but not in '...'
2. echo is faster than print print returns valus on success which degrades the performance.
3. Use echo‘s multiple parameters (or stacked) instead of string concatenation
4. Use pre-calculations set the maximum value for your for-loops before and not in the loop. ie: for ($x=0; $x < count($array); $x)
5. Unset or null your variables to free memory, especially large arrays.
6. Use require() instead of require_once() where possible
7. Use full paths in includes and requires less time spent on resolving the OS paths.
8. Close your database connections when you’re done with them.
9. Avoid use of @ Error suppression with @ is very slow.
10. Methods in derived classes run faster than ones defined in the base class.
11. Use pre-increment over post-increment
12. Use strict code, avoid suppressing errors, notices and warnings thus resulting in cleaner code and less overheads.
13. Avoid PHP scripts (unless cached) compilation on the fly every time you call them. Install a PHP caching product (such as APC, memcached or eAccelerator or Turck MMCache) to typically increase performance by 25-100% by removing compile times.
14. Try to use static pages 
    PHP scripts are be served at 2-10 times slower by Apache httpd than a static page. 
15. else if statements are faster than select statements aka case/switch.
16. In OOP, declare a method as static, if it can be . Speed improvement is by a factor of 4.
17. $row[’id’] is 7 times faster than $row[id], because if you don’t supply quotes it has to guess which index you meant, assuming you didn’t mean a constant.
18. Use 
    $_SERVER[’REQUEST_TIME’] instead of time() or microtime() when script starts
19. When parsing with XML in PHP try xml2array, which makes use of the PHP XML functions
20. Use isset where possible in replace of strlen. (ie: if (strlen($foo) < 5) { echo “Foo is too short”; } vs. if (!isset($foo{5})) { echo “Foo is too short”; } ).
21. Incrementing an object property (eg. $this->prop++) is 3 times slower than a local variable.
22. Incrementing an undefined local variable is 9-10 times slower than a pre-initialized one.
23. Use ip2long() and long2ip() to store IP addresses as integers instead of strings.
24. When using header(‘Location: ‘.$url); remember to follow it with a die(); as the script continues to run even though the location has changed or avoid using it all together where possible.
25. Just declaring a global variable without using it in a function slows things down. PHP checks If it exists or now.
26. Not everything has to be OOP, often it is just overhead, each method and object call consumes a lot of memory.
27. Make use of the countless predefined functions of PHP, don’t attempt to build your own as the native ones will be far quicker; if you have very time and resource consuming functions, consider writing them as C extensions or modules.
28. Profile your code. A profiler shows you, which parts of your code consumes how many time. The Xdebug debugger already contains a profiler. Profiling shows you the bottlenecks in overview

Yahoo mail moving out of Beta

Today Yahoo! announced that Yahoo! Mail will move out of beta and become generally available for millions of users in the coming weeks.  With this latest version of Yahoo! Mail (available in multiple markets and multiple languages), Yahoo! offers a faster, safer, easier and constantly connected experience across all devices that keep the conversations going — anytime, anywhere.

• Faster : Yahoo! put an emphasis on improving performance and delivered an experience that is at least 2x faster than previous versions. Whether you are on DSL, cable or dial-up, you’ll notice a dramatically faster Yahoo! Mail.

• Safer : Yahoo! upgraded our SpamGuard system and Mail Anti-Phishing Platform (YMAP) to reduce spam and phish-laced emails by an additional 60% -- that’s on top of the billions spam messages Yahoo! block each month. 

• Easier : Yahoo! introduced even easier ways to connect and to share, organize and store online conversations and media content. Yahoo! added the ability to quickly reply to your Facebook friends, view inline photos and videos to engage and delight users, deeper integration with Yahoo! Messenger to support multi-mode scenarios, and new Apps like YouSendIt and All My Purchases to extend our eco-system.   

• Constantly Connected : And Yahoo! has made sure that these are seamless experiences that travel with you – allowing people to engage with Yahoo! Mail on a PC, iPhone, Android or tablet device. 

The end result is a personally relevant communications experience — one that drives deeper engagement with consumers, excites advertising partners, and allows the teams to deliver continued innovation rapidly. 

Firefox Bookmark Keyword Hack

Previously I specified few firefox hacks to ease your daily internet surfing. Here I'm trying to explain how to use Firefox Bookmark Keyword hack.

Firefox provides a nice feature to Bookmark a URL and opening that for different input provided. E.g. If you want to search "Barack Osama", you can simply type "yahoo Barack Osama", and it will directly give your the search results.

Lets do it step wise.

1. Open the desired URL e.g. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Barack+Osama
2. Bookmark the page
3. Go to Organise bookmarks (FF version < 4.0) or Show All Bookmarks (FF version >= 4.0)
4. Search for the book-marked page here e.g. ysearch
5. Expand the property of bookmark (below "tag")
6. Replace the search string "Barack Osama" with %s
7. Enter keyword using what you want to do the search e.g. "yahoo"
8. DONE!

Type e.g. "yahoo < your name > " and enjoy the search results.

Don't limit yourself to this, create more bookmarks. Like for my personal use, I've setup many bookmarks like:

• Facebook name search "fb < name >" (http://www.facebook.com/search.php?type=users&q=%s), 
• Bugzilla search "bug < bug id >", 
• Yahoo search "yahoo < search string >", 
• Microsoft bing search "bing < search string >", 
• Google search "google < search string >".
