I am about to implement an online auction system similar to ebay. I am debating between two products. One is PHP the other ASP (PHP Auction and Rainworx).
I typically like PHP better, because I've noticed ASP always seems to turn up an error (even on professional sites), but the ASP system has more of the features that I need.
Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of ASP vs. PHP? My largets concern is speed. Is ASP fast? and is it reliable? I've heard something about the code breaks down over time, etc.
I have an ASP form which collects data into a MS Access database. This is used to collect information from 120 of my students. Last year I used a free host but this was utterly unreliable.
This year I am using a paid host. It's much more reliable but I'm still finding about 20% of students do not get their data saved to the database at all.
I have an app that gets a file from a web server. An ASP page is passed authenitication data (username, password) and a filename. The file is read and then output by the ASP page so the only response is the file I am requesting. The file I want to receive is XML with the major portion of it being a Base64-encoded block.
Problem is that more often than not, the returned file contains errors. In a 200k file, 2 or 3 characters are often munged. Occasionally I manage to receive the file without errors. Code:
If I want to get the number of rows returned from the database along with the contents, I would assume that GetRows() would be the best way, and then doing a UBound(myArray,2) + 1 would be the best way to give me the number of records. If I do NOT need the actual database info, but I just need the number of rows, should I use GetRows or COUNT(ID) in my SQL or what?
my asp pages use mysql db...i got 40 tables. mostly the site system uses 7 tables only... in the past i used access mdb database but after this 5 tables fulfilled with something like 10000 records it was so slow i could read a book before it moved... then i moved to sql...
now the question is for who had/have asp pages connected to mysql with more than 50,000 records... how is the speed? can you see the speed diffrence with the growing of numbers of records? if i got slow speed when i ask my asp pages to show me some records, is that because i got more than normal number of records inside one table? 80,000 records inside one mysql table sounds to you normal?
I are there ANY secrets in sql 2000 to speed up this process on the webpage? I tried using indexes... expanding the timeout... it is still too big and we cannot archive any records.
I'm using get rows to build a table for a calendar. The specific view for this calendar is for an entire month. Each appointment slot is one half hour long. If I were to generate a page for the month of november I would have to check and see if an appointment is scheduled for each appointment slot throughout the entire month. this is 240 slots! At this point I've written it so it only checks for an appointment if a particular day has an appointment, even so, with only 20 or so appointments scheduled for the entire month, it's taking several seconds to return the results.
I was thinking it might be best to pay a javascript programmer to write a script that will parse through the whole mess to offload it onto the client. What would you recommend?
The code below is searching a ms access database that contains approx 53,000 records. This code go's into the data and extracts the files pertaining to this customer but the scripts takes approx 40 + seconds to search. Is there something different I can do to speed up the process ? Code:
Dim rs, sql Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") sql = "SELECT Left(CUSTNOITEM, 4) as CustNo,Right(CUSTNOITEM, 9) as CustNoI,CLASS,descrip,SEQ_NO FROM ARCPRICQ WHERE Left(CUSTNOITEM, 4) = '" & Session("login") & "' ORDER BY " & Mysort & " ;" rs.Open sql, db, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic While Not rs.EOF
currently using an asp upload to upload file into server, but finding it the transfer speed quite slow, anyone know the faster way or script to upload file into server in asp? or in other language?PHP?
Just wondering if anyone knows how to determine someones connection speed in asp the reason for this being so i can redirect the user to a different media file depending on their connection speed.
This page takes awhile to load which is probably due to the queries and the way I have it outputed. Anybody have any advice for speeding this up? Code:
i m trying to write a script for sending email to many people at a time and i m getting the email addresses from database .my script is working but after sending to 8 or 9 people script timed out.
now how can i increase the speed of sending email almost to 60000 people.my script is here.
I'm pretty sure this is possible in ASP, something about making CPU time markers and then taking the difference and switching it into seconds/minutes I just don't recall how to go about doing it.
