1. echo is faster than print.
2. Wrap your string in single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") is faster because PHP searches for variables inside "" and not in '', use this when you're not using variables you need evaluating in your string.
3. Use sprintf instead of variables contained in double quotes, it's about 10x faster.
4. Use echo's multiple parameters (or stacked) instead of string concatenation.
5. Use pre-calculations, set the maximum value for your for-loops before and not in the loop. ie: for ($x=0; $x
6. Unset or null your variables to free memory, especially large arrays.
7. Avoid magic like __get, __set, __autoload.
8. Use require() instead of require_once() where possible.
9. Use full paths in includes and requires, less time spent on resolving the OS paths.
10. require() and include() are identical in every way except require halts if the file is missing. Performance wise there is very little difference.

Blog Themes
papamike writes "Since I created a blog for RavenNuke(tm) with help from Tricked Out News," I now have to support it with some themes. I'll see just how creative I can get with them. I have a couple of other projects that will come in handy, but you will have to wait to see them.
See the RavenNuke(tm) blog so that I can get you on the map.

PHP vs. Java – Which One Is the Better Web Language?
papamike writes "Traditionally, it seems like Java is the web language of choice for corporations, and PHP has been the web language of choice for people who own their own websites (i.e. small scale websites). It also seems like both of these groups will swear by anything that their language, whether it be PHP or Java, is the supreme language of the universe.....

10 PHP functions you (probably) never use
Southern writes "When scripting in PHP, we often restrict ourselves to a limited number of API functions: the common ones, like print(), header(), define(), isset(), htmlspecialchars(), etc. If some needed functionality doesn’t exist, we often write it making use of these basic components which we have in mind. The PHP API actually offers a lot of functionality, some useless and some useful; often seldom used. I have been looking through the available functions and was interested to find some really cool functions that I should have known about. Here, I share my findings.

Blogs
papamike writes "Everyone knows that RavenNuke(tm) is a powerful and secure CMS, so I started thinking just what else could be done with it. The idea I came upon was to create a RN blog. Most blogs only have one topic for visitors to comment on. With the RN blog there can be, who-knows, how many. Plus you can use my theming utility PMCCT to create the theme and grab other trinkets from around the Internet to add to your creation. I had fun creating my blog and it took all of two days from start to finish. I actually created my blog for members of the community to look at and just see what can be done. I've been thinking of making a RN store next.

PMCCT Smokin theme
Southern writes "I'm pleased to announce to the Nuke community that my site is hosting the PMCCT Smokin theme designed by Papa Mike Creations with beta testing and other collaboration on my part. But the majority of the creative work and talent is his credit.
The Smokin theme was built with the great CMS RavenNuke(tm) in mind, although it can be used with ordinary PhPNuke.
