  1. Im using my PHP-Webservice this way:

    Java:

    // params => "?action=getInfos"
    private JSONObject getJSONObject(String params)
    {
    try
    {
    String url = path2webservicephp + params;

    System.out.println("Call URL: " + url);

    HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);

    request.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml;charset=UTF-8");

    DefaultHttpClient httpclient2 = new DefaultHttpClient();

    HttpResponse response = httpclient2.execute(request);

    if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200)
    throw new ConnectionException("Status Code is " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + ": " + response.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
    String line = reader.readLine();

    MyConstants.RECEIVEDBYTES += line.length();

    reader.close();
    if ("[]".equals(line))
    return null;
    return new JSONObject(line);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
    LLog.e(Webservice.class, "Exception! params: " + params);
    LLog.e(e, Webservice.class);
    }
    return null;
    }


    // LLog.e is from my own class. It logs to Log.e and into a file

    PHP:

    $array = array('status' => 'ok', 'message' => 'your action was: '.$_GET['action']);
    echo json_encode($array);

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
