巨大的PHP文件脚本[关闭]

Question

I have PHP script (machine generated), that has size of 3MB. Its content is mainly couple of switches and echo. It is not doint anything, only echos. I am using it as "cache" for slow SQL queries, so I generate all possible outputs to this PHP and then use ID in URL to get appropriate result.

So far I have been using script that has 700KB and all was OK. Now, I added some data and I ended up with 3MB. Is it OK to run this or should I consider some other solution ?

Answer 1

It sounds like you're rolling your own wonky wheel. Consider using a widely accepted caching solution like APC or memcache.

Also consider using the Zend caching component which can be extracted and used in isolation from the rest of the framework and provides an abstracted API for many caching back ends including file based, APC and memcache.

The solution you've described will probably use excessive memory for every execution, waste CPU parsing unnecessary PHP code and make it difficult to handle things like invalidations.
