PHP Web Development has created milestones in recent years and becoming first choice for web developers to create any kind of web applications. If you Google around for websites, whether its ecommerce websites, shopping carts or any business applications, you will find essence of PHP in each of them. PHP no doubt offers ample benefits but at the same time it has been criticized a lot for its slow speed. It has been observed that web applications developed using PHP are little bit slower.
In this article, I tried to list out some essential tips or guidelines for PHP developers which will help them to enhance their PHP application's performance and will help them to speed up their PHP Applications.
Tip 1: - Avoid using print (), instead use echo! In PHP, print() is function which consumes more time to execute where as echo is language construct and will speed up the execution of any statement.
Tip 2: - Always prefer (,) with echo rather than using (.)! It means, try to avoid periods with echo statements as it requires concatenating the entire strings before executing the echo statements which consumers more time and decrease the performance of the PHP applications.
Tip 3: - Never try include_once()/require_once()! Always prefer to use include () or require () whenever you wish to check for already included files.
Tips 4: - If possible avoid duplication of variables as it will consume more time to process such duplicated variables.
Tips 5: - Always use variables to store the value whenever you are looping and take it in account for future iterations. This will help to save time that may be consumed in looping again and reduce number of iterations.
Tips 6: - Always prefer to use whole file path rather than using shorter and more directive path names. It will reduce the number of steps to evaluate the path of the files if you have mentioned full file path. It will help to speed up the PHP as well.
Tip 7: - Always try to use in-built functions with your applications! Using custom functions will cause PHP to consumer more to evaluate it and to understand it, which will lead to poor performance of PHP. So, try to include built-in functions with your PHP applications.
Tips 8: - Always prefer to use single quotes over double quotes, as it will speed up the string processing!
So, above we see some of the very handy tips which will help PHP developers to enhance the performance of PHP and PHP Web Development as well.
