Another useful tool is GZIP. GZIP is a very effective way of keeping your bandwidth down when having large HTML/PHP pages. It compresses the page thats being sent to the user viewing your site, when the user recieves this compressed version of the page it uncompresses the page saving bandwidth and speeds up the transfer from server to browser. Paste ( php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler) into your .htaccess file and it will enable GZIP across all pages in that directory. Nice article. Another useful tool is GZIP.

For example I could create an object with several variables in it to allow me to conveniently group them, like what you would use a struct in C/C++ for. In this instance it would be faster to use an array with the same functionality. It does take longer to access an element of an array if you run a simple test script. Like I said in the article this is only practical for very small arrays and would only be used inside a loop where the speed difference is significant. This can easily be tested if you wish to test it. I realise that arrays and objects are quite different things but for some purposes they could both be used.

Arrays and Objects are 2 different things... they dont serve the same purpose... and arrays are way faster than a bunch of variables to do the same work ... you should point out that type casting is faster.. in php you cant type cast but you can code as if ... like if $var = 1 ... never change $var to a string .. this takes memory to do it... i could go on and on about php optimization .. but this article is about 75% wrong Dude most of your article is wrong .. you compare apples and oranges … Arrays and Objects are 2 different things… they dont serve the same purpose… and arrays are way faster than a bunch of variables to do the same work … you should point out that type casting is faster.. in php you cant type cast but you can code as if … like if $var = 1 … never change $var to a string .. this takes memory to do it…

i could go on and on about php optimization .. but this article is about 75% wrong
