    Encoding HTML to transmit via URL

    Hey there I'm wanting to send small segments of HTML to other webpages (in my case IFRAMEs.) Along these lines: http://www.mysite.com/newpage.php?content=HTMLHERE I've been using base64_encode / base64_decode but guessing that this is CPU intensive. Is there any other ways I can encode/decode...

    How do I identify "slow" code?

    I'm running a very complex/ mutilated version of PHPNuke/phpBB and have been running into performance issues with my server. After going through the long process of identifying the problem it seems to be resting in the PHP code (not MySQL as originally thought.) There seems to be some code...

    Changed MyISAM to InnoDB - getting really slow UPDATES

    Hi there I've recently got all inspired and purchased "High Performance SQL" - an O'Reilly's book. Using a slow query log I'd already identified two tables that were causing problems. Both had an equal number of SELECT and UPDATE/DELETE statements being run against them. This was leading to...

    Date for Next 30 Days Loop

    I know this should be straight forward but coding dates always mess with my head. All I want to do is have a loop which cycles through today and the next 30 days, generating $Day(2 digits), $Month(2 digits) and $Year(4 digits) for each cycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Tama...

    Monitoring Network Congestion

    I work in a educational institution (18,000 users) and external network traffic noticeably slows as more people arrive in the morning - and then speeds up again as people leave. This sort of thing is fairly obvious but this year the network congestion during the day has grown to unmanageable...

    Bad header=No recipient addresses found

    Cells Backgrounds Continuously Reloading?

    I've recently moved this website - http://www.wideopen.co.nz to a new server. To be honest I hadn't looked at it for a couple of weeks and after I moved it I came across this completely bizarre behaviour: When I view the site (Internet Explorer 6.0) the background of the table cells which make...

    I've just started using Crystal Enterprise 8.5 for connecting to an 300+ table Oracle DB via ODBC. For the past couple of years I've been using coded SQL queries to extract data from DBs for analyse/ reports. My initial investigation into using SQL in Crystal have hit a wall. I can code and...

    Another Slow Query/ Indexing Problem

    Hi there I've been taking the advice that vanekl gave me in [url=thread436-765385 thread[/url] and been identifying indexing issues by first indentifying slow queries on my website, and then running them through EXPLAIN. This has been working very well (big props to vanekl) but I've run into...
