Hello,
I have my script running, it is comparing text files one at a time.
It does NOT use mysql at all.
The script compares 5000 files to each other.
So that is 5000 x 5000 combinations = 25 million combinations
so it would take quite a while and slows down my server for more than a day.
my server is supposed to be serving web pages not doing this kind of computation!
I don´t really want to learn another language as I have a lot to do
( but if there is something really similar to php and it wouldn't take me too
long, then I could do it 🙂 )
So is there a way to run my php script on my pc without
using the internet - running it like an application ?
Is the only way to set up a server on my laptop ?
I don't really want to do that - is there an interpreter
that can run php as a stand alone application ?
The comparing script is pretty simple only about 200 lines long
and it uses fopen() to log results and file_get_contents() to open
and read the txt files.
Any thoughts ?
Many thanks.
