[Resolved] Bandwidth Consumption for PHP script

[kcgame]

Hi,

Would like to ask a question about Bandwidth consumption for a php script.
As PHP is a server-side script, does it means that the Bandwidth consumes by the viewer does not include the codes' size?

For example, if i have 100kb of codes (coded in PHP) and 80kb of image size in this script upon loading, will the user consumes 80kb (only the image size) bandwidth or 180kb (total size including the codes)??

Any comments / advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

the only bandwidth consumed will be the images along with the html that is output from the script.

i.e.

<?php

echo "hello";

?>

so from that script even though it is 27 bytes, only 5 bytes of bandwidth plus the http headers sent by the webserver are counted against you.
so even if you have a php script that is 500kb of code but it only outputs 1 word, the consumed bandwidth is just the word.

Bandwidth is only measured in how much data is SENT. If you have a crap load of code, and it doesnt output anything (such as text, images, etc), then you're not using any bandwidth at all. You're just using system resources.

Thanks very much for the helpful replies😃

So looks like i'll have more bandwidth to spare
