    \n
  1. If a method can be static, declare it static<\/strong>, speed<\/strong> can be improved.<\/li>\n
  2. Echo<\/strong> is more faster than print.<\/li>\n
  3. Use Echo’s multiple<\/strong> parameters instead of string concatenation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Unset<\/strong> your variables to free memory, especially large arrays.<\/li>\n
  5. Avoid magic like __get, __set, __autoload.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Require_once() is expensive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  7. Use full paths in includes and requires, less time spent on resolving the OS paths.<\/li>\n
  8. Str_replace<\/strong> is faster than preg_replace, but strtr is faster than str_replace<\/li>\n
  9. Error suppression<\/strong> with @ is very slow.<\/li>\n
  10. Close your database connections when you’re done with them<\/li>\n
  11. Error messages are expensive<\/li>\n
  12. Incrementing a global variable is 2 times slower than a local var.<\/li>\n
  13. Incrementing an object property (eg. $this->prop++) is 3 times slower than a local variable.<\/li>\n
  14. Incrementing an undefined local variable is 9-10 times slower than a pre-initialized one.<\/li>\n
  15. Use any frame works (For example cake php,yii frame work)<\/li>\n
  16. Use Ternary Operators<\/strong> in your coding<\/li>\n
  17. Methods in derived classes run faster than ones defined in the base class.<\/li>\n
  18. Use if else conditions<\/strong> are more faster than the select statements<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  19. Avoid looping<\/strong> in your coding.When you use array go for the foreach loop rather than for loop.<\/li>\n
  20. Don\u2019t use short tags<\/strong> in your coding.<\/li>\n
  21. ++$i is more faster than $ i++ ,use pre-increment when it is possible.<\/li>\n
  22. Avoid the PHP mail() function header injection issue.<\/li>\n
  23. $row[\u2019id\u2019] is 7 times faster than $row[id], because if you don\u2019t supply quotes it has to guess which index you meant, assuming you didn\u2019t mean a constant.<\/li>\n
  24. Separate code, content and presentation: keep your PHP code separate from your HTML.<\/li>\n
  25. Avoid using plain text when storing and evaluating passwords to avoid exposure, instead use a hash, such as an md5, hash.<\/li>\n
  26. Not everything has to be OOP, often it is just overhead, each method and object call consumes a lot of memory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
