  1. POHow can I adjust the server to run my PHP script quicker?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a PHP script which runs on a loop for x amount of times. The code is very minimal and performs checks. Some loops will run within 1 second of each other and it varies.. some loops will run with up to 8 seconds delay.</p> <p>How or what can I adjust/tweak on the server (or instruct the manager of my dedicated server) to reduce the time between loops to milliseconds (or as quick as possible) rather than 1 to 8 seconds?</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p><strong>PHP code</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt; #check { font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 40px; } .red { color: #C00; } .green { color: #060; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;?php date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Brisbane'); $var1 = "variable"; $var2 = 1; $var3=="no"; while ($var2 &lt;= 50) { $sApiUrl = "https://www.apiurl.com/"; $aParams = Array( 'uid' =&gt; "user", 'pw' =&gt; "key", 'command' =&gt; "command", 'sld' =&gt; "main", 'tld' =&gt; "ext"); $oCurl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_URL, $sApiUrl); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $aParams); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); $sResponse = curl_exec($oCurl); curl_close($oCurl); $oOutput = new SimpleXmlElement($sResponse); foreach ($oOutput as $v1) { foreach ($v1 as $v2) { foreach ($v2 as $v3) { foreach ($v3 as $v4=&gt;$temp) { if($v4=="text") $var4 = $temp; if($var4=="true") { $aParams = Array( 'uid' =&gt; "user", 'pw' =&gt; "key", 'command' =&gt; "command", 'sld' =&gt; "main", 'tld' =&gt; "ext", 'dosomething' =&gt; "yes"); $oCurl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_URL, $sApiUrl); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $aParams); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); $sResponse = curl_exec($oCurl); curl_close($oCurl); $var3=="yes"; } } } } } $checktime = date('h:i:s A'); echo "&lt;div id=\"check\"&gt;$checktime, checked $var1&lt;br&gt;"; if ($var4=="true") echo "&lt;div class=\"green\"&gt; $var4"; else echo "&lt;div class=\"red\"&gt; $var4"; if ($var3=="yes") echo " and yes"; echo "&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; $var3=="no"; $loops++; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Processor Information</strong></p> <p>Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #1 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #1 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #2 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #2 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #2 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #2 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #3 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #3 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #3 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #3 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #4 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #4 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #4 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #4 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #5 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #5 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #5 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #5 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #6 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #6 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #6 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #6 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #7 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #7 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #7 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #7 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p>Processor #8 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #8 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Processor #8 speed: 1995.120 MHz Processor #8 cache size: 6144 KB</p> <p><strong>Memory Information</strong></p> <p>Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range Memory: 8302344k/9175040k available (2176k kernel code, 80272k reserved, 901k data, 228k init, 7466304k highmem)</p> <p><strong>System Information</strong></p> <p>Linux server.myserver.com 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 13:31:51 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux</p> <p><strong>Physical Disks</strong></p> <p>SCSI device sda: 1952448512 512-byte hdwr sectors (999654 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 08 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back SCSI device sda: 1952448512 512-byte hdwr sectors (999654 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 08 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sd 0:1:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb sd 0:1:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0</p> <p><strong>Current Memory Usage</strong></p> <pre><code> total used free shared buffers cached </code></pre> <p>Mem: 8306672 7887632 419040 0 508076 6496876 -/+ buffers/cache: 882680 7423992 Swap: 4095992 428 4095564 Total: 12402664 7888060 4514604</p> <p><strong>Current Disk Usage</strong></p> <p>Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 898G 200G 653G 24% / /dev/sda1 99M 19M 76M 20% /boot none 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm /var/tmpMnt 4.0G 161M 3.6G 5% /tmp</p>
