The O'Reilly Network has a new article this morning about Improving Performance by Profiling PHP Applications. For those out there unsure what "profiling" is - all it is is using code to benchmark certain aspects of your software/scripts. In this case, they show you how to make a neat little timer to benchmark how long your script takes to run, using the PEAR::Benchmark library. This can be useful a lot of the time (like with search engine code or scripts that you might want to run in cron), but more than likely, it's just a last minute addition to your script.
Well, I have some things that I need to catch up on around here...I need to get the tutorials looking prettier/easier to read, I've got some articles to write for other websites, and some bugs to chase down here and there, (oh, and the forums thing) - but other than that, it's perfect! (heh) I appreciate you guys hanging with me while I work on all of this. It's not easy to find the time to get all of this done sometimes...
