Post subject: template.php to statically write language vars to cache |
|
|
This is theory, not checked it deeply, but i think main_lang.php is scanned a lot to retrieve lang['text'] even from cached template files.
If it is indeed scanned like this, it can cost a lot of php processing time at heavy load especially.
Am i right? Someone made this before? i am missed something?
example cache/tpl_name.index_body.php
| Code: | | <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">| <?php echo isset($this->vars['L_TOPICS']) ? $this->vars['L_TOPICS'] : $this->lang('L_TOPICS'); ?>| </th> |
(btw, stupid code wtf  , if a = 1 then a = 1 else a = 1)
could be made static:
| Code: | | <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">| Topics | </th> |

I don't think it works that way. I think it's set up so all lang variables can be called from anywhere, like an include hidden somewhere around the code.
Not sure though. Wait for someone like Dog Cow to come in and explain it perfectly in one sentence. XD |

| Using lang files versus static text serves two purpose : using the same text everywhere for the same object, and allowing the interface to be translated in many languages. It costs more resources (uc/memory) than static texts of course, but the advantage largely justify it : accessing an array with its natural key is pretty straight forward for the php processor, the concern is more the memory consumed in keeping this array during the construction of the page, so it has to remain small, and loaded the later possible. |

| You'd have to go in and replace every single call to a language file with static text. Considering PhpBB basically uses lang lines for upwards of 80% of all text generated from Php files, you'll be spending a loooong time typing. |
