PHP make this very easy by including functions like file_get_contents() that has URL support. This code will get you the contents of an URL.

$contents = file_get_contents('http://example.com/rss.xml');

Unfortunately, this is a huge security threat - and many servers have disabled this feature in PHP. Also this is not the most optimized method to fetch an URL. Also, it is impossible to submit data using the POST method using this function.

PHP provide two method to fetch an URL - Curl and Fsockopen. But to use this we have to write a lot more code.

A cookie is flat file based system used to represent a user of the website. It is stored on the local computer of the user. When you visit a website a cookie may be set to represent the user.

PHP Optimization - Theory and Practise

Share this post!

One of the first things I will discuss are about quotes, these silly " or ' things you may had been using for quite some time. It was once a rumor that double quotes were slower or single quotes were faster, but they are basically the same thing in recent versions.

The only thing you will wish to optimize here is to try to avoid "cramming" variables into a string, such as "$a plays $b and $c = $d" as this will be hard for the interpreter to recover from, especially cramming arrays into a string. Single quotes are generally more simple to read by the parser and should be used unless you require escapes such as \r \n \t \" to be used in your text.

A simple hint: You will want to stay away from heredoc syntax for this reason, breaking out of PHP will be much faster to write HTML blocks or non-dynamic data, an example is this:  more...
