Works for me. Sorting is slow, though. Glad to see I'm top of the dead list.

And what's all this "aira" stuff about? :)

("era", I think :)

quick suggestion for you leigon...

have you considered caching your page?

Code: Select all

$cachefile = 'mypage.cache';
$cachetime = 60 * 60; // 60 * number of minutes you want to cache for
// Serve from the cache if it is younger than $cachetime
if (file_exists($cachefile) && time() - $cachetime < filemtime($cachefile)) {
    include($cachefile);
    //echo "<!-- Cached copy, generated ".date('H:i', filemtime($cachefile))." -->\n";

}
else
{
ob_start(); // Start the output buffer
?>

your page content goes here...

Code: Select all

<?
// Cache the output to a file
$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w');
fwrite($fp, ob_get_contents());
fclose($fp);
ob_end_flush(); // Send the output to the browser
}
?>

so basically... if the mypage.cache file exists and isds younger than the time specified then display mypage.cache as the output ... if not then run the code and save it as a new cache page.

this is what i use on the left index of the home page as it gets loads of stats from different files and can lag sometime

anyway just a suggestion

oh ... btw dont forget to set the directory to writable or it wont work

I made a small local refresher... its simple but makes the whole thing refresh the stats every 1/2 an hour or so. Means no one will lag when they look at the site (hopefully).

LMFAO @ amount of deaths XD

The page works for me. It just loads quite slowly.

the advantage of using cached pages is that it doesnt need to interpret the php which is slower than parsing html

Heh, I have a thing about bumping old topics, but I spoke to Leigon about this last week...

Anyway, I was coding up a site-engine sorta thing, and I made a system where every 30 minutes [a port of] cron ran a batch file...

The batch file zipped all the files in the site-engine directory and piped phpwin.exe on a php file (the php file renamed the zip to the date and time in MySQL TIMESTAMP format, then outputted a page containing a list of the backups which had been made previously, which was loaded from another file) to an HTML file. I, of course, was too lazy to implement [a port of] diff, so I was left with like 300 identical backups, but that's another matter...Point is, the same code could help you have the stats file updated every 30 mins/hour. I'm not at home just now but I'll upload the code when I am.

atualy this is very usefull

... but cron jobs are much more usefull

Every hour on theuniversalstats.com I have set up a cron job to run the php updater... This updates all the information in the database, and updates the hardcore php pages.
