I have been kicking an idea around for sometime and wondered if something of it's nature hadn't already been invented.

Donations, in and of themselves, are a sporadic, and unreliable method of supporting developers. Furthermore mo...

What kind of ideas or tips and tricks do you have in order to boost PHP performance. Something like, I use: $str = 'my string'; if(isset($str[3]) Instead of: if(strlen($str) > 3) Which is a bit faster. Or storing values as keys instead of vars in array, makes searching if key exists much faster. Hence using isset($arr[$key]...
