Ninjakreborn Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have noticed when programming in general, a lot of the pages end up being well over 500+ lines of programming. I ended up programming this one pagehttp://www.thecampussource.com/view.phpThe most I ever had on one page was 875 lines of pure programming, and after I am done, it'll be well over 1000. I have it handling a lot of different stuff from a lot of different pages. What is the most amount of programming lines you ever had on one page before.

obsidian Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 ok, i'll bite, although, the most amount of code per page sometimes volunteers you for the most disorganized code as well sometimes ;) . once i have a page that reaches the 1000 line mark, i seriously start looking for duplicate code and ways to extract function calls or OOP into their own structured files. my average files usually end up being around the 400-500 line mark. i'd have to say my biggest so far, though was in the neighborhood of 3,500 lines.here's the catch, though: when i went back a year later and rewrote the code, i extracted the pieces into three separate files that ran a grand total of just over 2,000 combined. so... you do the math :P Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21574-largest-amount-of-programming-on-one-page/#findComment-96304 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zq29 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 My average line count is also around the 500 mark per file, but the largest file of mine so far is around 1500 lines which is in a project I am currently working on, the file is pretty much complete though.

ober Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 businessman, keep in mind that it is just PHP. The JS part came from a variety of js files. It was basically just a bunch of functions (28 if I recall correctly) that I called from a TON of different locations within a piece of my application suite.Damn I miss that job :( Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21574-largest-amount-of-programming-on-one-page/#findComment-96395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 at my place of employment, our systems take PHP's OOP functionality to a level that is almost pushing the boundaries, so my/our files tend to stay under 400 lines. The average class is about 200 lines. But then again, we have 2,486 PHP files in our system's tree, 172 XML files, and 1166 .tpl files, so it adds up to a rather substantial amount of typing.The commands I used to determine this:[code]$ ls -R ./* | grep '.php' | wc -l$ ls -R ./* | grep '.xml' | wc -l$ ls -R ./* | grep '.tpl' | wc -l[/code] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21574-largest-amount-of-programming-on-one-page/#findComment-96407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjakreborn Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 I know, but with me, what I consider ajax programming, is anything that you are actively putting together the proper elements to get the concept of ajax.

Ninjakreborn Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX_%28programming%29]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX_%28programming%29[/url]Just because I carry that opinion doesn't mean I don't know how to do it. Also just because I don't use ajax all the time doesn't mean that I don't know how to do it. I started looking up ajax quite a long time ago. Which would be about 8 months, it's been out since 2005, so maybe not since it's creation I think I need to change that. I guess your right, I shouldn't have put since it's creation, that doesn't really match the truth, it was more of about 6-8 months ago, it wasn't long after it came out, but I still need to specify that. However about teh term Ajax, if I did ajax as a concept, then it's just putting multiple languages together, but I get annoyed when I hear terms like AHAH, asynchronious html, and http. Or other like terms, because I feel that ajax itself is a very special form of programming, it is very powerful, but when they come up with all these otehr terms, ajax itself starts loosing it's powerful philisophically as a language. I feel it's a very good term to use "programming language" with javascript because of it's nature. WIthout the proper elements it doesn't work, and it's not called ajax.

ober Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Maybe we should clarify the "creation" of AJAX..... which was actually several years ago. The technologies that make up "AJAX programming" have existed for quite some time. The fact that browsers only recently started supporting some of the methods is an entirely different subject. If you truly wanted to talk about the creation of AJAX-type applications, you'd have to go back to the creation of XML and JS... which is WAAAAAAAY before 2005.

redbullmarky Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 [quote]Also just because I don't use ajax all the time doesn't mean that I don't know how to do it[/quote]sounds like the husband justifying to the wife why the toilet is still dirty...I have some thoughts of my own on terminology (although i'm concious that this has gone WAY off topic).Terminology, with regards to programming is generally used for one of the following reasons:1, to make a coder sound knowledgable.2, to make the coder sound better than another coder3, to join the "Web 2.0 bandwagon" (or anything else that's "in" at the moment)4, to make ones intentions clear to another, by using a generic "language".so if none of the above really apply, then the terminology is somewhat irrelevent - especially as the final consideration comes down to [b]results[/b], not what stuff goes on in the background. The average end user couldnt care less as long as they have a nice, easy browsing experience.AJAX is one of these things that (whilst i like it and clearly can see the benefits) is one of those buzzwords that seem to get used as a 'knowledge benchmark' - "you don't know AJAX? you must be rubbish then!!!!" or "wow!!! you know AJAX!!! you are god!!!" (trust me, look around on certain forums and you WILL see these type of comments) - my question is though - before AJAX was widely introduced, did that mean coders that werent using it were rubbish?didn't think so.so after all that waffle by myself, my point is that it really doesn't matter whether it's AJAX Coding/AJAX programming/AJAX toilet cleaning/AHAH/AIAWOT.back on to the original point - my files are generally as big as they need to be. I never really get to worried about the size of my pages, as long as it does the job effectively. however, sometimes if a page gets HUGE, i will make a point of putting a kind of index at the top of the file just so as I know exactly whats in there without hunting things down. most of the time i'll do that anyway.CheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21574-largest-amount-of-programming-on-one-page/#findComment-98242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjakreborn Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 No, I never get offended with anything barand says, he has helped me so many times, I always love hearing his suggestions, I was just saying, I would never get offended by anything he said with how many times he helped me. As for programming, yes javascript I would consider a scripting language, but if you look at some major javascript applications, it can get really heavy after awhile. Some javascript programming can be harder for me than php programming, and I have done javascript for longer than php. I thought ajax came out in 2005, if that's the case, when I update my site I will update that with the time period, when i first started with ajax, the first place I checked was wikipedia, it said 2005, since then I stated since it's creation, I am going to change that on the next website change. as what redbullmarky is saying, I don't really know anythign at all about web 2.0 itself because everything I look at web 2.0 it seems affiliated with .net and asp, and i don't like those languages much, I see ajax associated with web 2.0 but the thing with that, is it always seems to be associated with .net as well.
