query making my page slow ... help?


Gem

Recommended Posts

Hiya ..

 

Hopefully just a quick question ..

 

my new homepage ... www.bradleystokejudoclub.co.uk/newindex.php

is loading incredibly slow, and I figure it is because of the query that is in the Latest News section ...

 

Is there a way to load the rest of the page and not have to wait for the query ... maybe some kind of "loading" in the latest news bit whilst its getting there??

 

Hope that makes sense...

 

thanks

Sure ...

 

<?php
$con = mysql_connect(" =) ");
if (!$con)
{
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("bssql", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `title`, `subtitle` FROM `articles` ORDER BY `ID` DESC LIMIT 5") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    ?><b><?php echo $row['title'];?></b> 
    <BR><?php echo $row['subtitle']?><BR><?php
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

hmmm ... it must have something to do with that part of the page cuz I just took it off and it loaded fast, and when I put that bit back in, its all slow again ...

 

How annoying ...

gemmerz, if you want the page to display and don't mind the delay for the last part, may i suggest using flush()

 

ie

<?php
echo "Start of the page..<br>";
flush();
sleep(2); //delays
echo "Rest of the page";
?>

 

as for your mysql connection, i assume your using localhost!

 

you say you figure it because of the sql.. but is this a guess or have you tried removing it to see if it speeds up ?
