PHP and MySQL Speed multiple accessing.

jonki

I am writing a script so that my clients can update my database automatically without me having to give them any access rights.

I will send them a link which will be something like this:

http://www.mywebpage.com/update.php?username=$usnme&psswrd=$passwrd&location=$loc......&imagesrc=$imgsrc

I am going to suggest that they put this in a while loop in a cron job but my question is this:

Will my update.php page be fast enough to handle this while loop? There are no images being uploaded just data. Is this relevant?

I really would like to know before I suggest it to them and then find out it doesnt work.

Many thanks

please elaberate. what does this link do? how is the data being uploaded? what does your update.php script look like?

Thanks for your quick reply

I havent written it yet but it is going to be a simple

(UPDATE db SET name = $name .......)

the script will run everytime the while loop runs through a loop.

I have in total about 15 - 20 parameters, all very short; name, location, telephone number, sea view etc ....

Maybe it would be better to get all the information into an array and send this array accros - but if PHP can handle it without an array then I would prefer it.

(I'm not 100% sure if this answered your question)
