Evert Pot came across an interesting performance issue as he was working through an application that needed to do some string substitutions - the difference between iconv_substr, mb_substr and substr.While working on an application I ran across a huge bottleneck which I isolated down all the way to the use of the iconv_substr function. If you ever wonder which is better to use, [the benchmark code in the post[ should help your decision.His results changed quite a bit from machine to machine (and...

PHPMaster.com is back with another introductory tutorial for those new to the PHP language. It's a look at one of the most commonly used (sometimes badly) features of the language - superglobal variables.Superglobals are specially-defined array variables in PHP that make it easy for you to get information about a request or its context. They are called superglobal because they are always accessible, regardless of the scope - that is, you can access them from any function, class or file without having to...
I was talking to my boss the other day on his drive into work. He was complaining about how bad the traffic was getting in the South Bay area over the past few weeks during rush hour, and corolating this to how much ecomonic growth is going on in the valley right now. People are hiring like crazy, and as a result it's becoming harder and harder to find talented developers. I contrast this to the rest of the country, especially where I live in Ohio, where the slowdown in the ecomony and the impending...

Today we've released a few things for PHP and MySQL users: One is the first (and probably only) beta of the mysqlnd_ms plugin for MySQL Replication and Load Balancing support and the first GA version of a PHP plugin for the Query Analyzer of the MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
Ulf blogged a lot about mysqlnd_ms, so I don't have to repeat him here. what I want to talk about is the other one. So what is that about?

Rasmus Lerdorf has a new post to his blog sharing the results of some "investigative hacking" he did to see if making ZeroMQ and libevent work together was difficult. Thankfully, the answer was "not hard at all".While waiting for a connection in Frankfurt I had a quick look at what it would take to make ZeroMQ and libevent co-exist in PHP and it was actually quite easy. Well, easy after Mikko Koppanen added a way to get the underlying socket fd from the ZeroMQ PHP extension. To get this working, install...

While working on an application I ran across a huge bottleneck which I isolated down all the way to the use of the iconv_substr function. If you ever wonder which is better to use, this should help your decision:
Benchmark scriptA $str = str_repeat("foo",100000);$time = microtime(true);A iconv_substr($str,1000,90000,'UTF-8');A echo "iconv_substr: " . (microtime(true)-$time) . "\n";A $time = microtime(true);A mb_substr($str,1000,90000,'UTF-8');A echo "mb_substr: " . (microtime(true)-$time) . "\n";A $time...
