newbie doubts

Hi there!
Where and how can I post de the files for the contest?

there's a way to write de memory usage by php in a giving time?


thanks.

I'm from Brazil, there's some one from there here?

This was on the php coding contest page.

thanks tkarkkainen!

the limit amount of memory for each script to 32 megs. There's a function that give-me the amount of memory usage?

Use of CLASS is slower than use only alone functions?


sorry if it's sound stupid...and sorry my poor english.

If you use Windows, use the task manager. This is what I did on the previous contest. Take the APACHE.EXE process at the beginning, and verify that it doesn't grow more than 32Mb.

>Use of CLASS is slower than use only alone functions?

I read that classes were slow.
In the current contest, it's recommended that you avoid classes and bidimensional arrays.

Stop complaining about your english !
We all began one day.
BTW, your english is perfectly readable :-)

This is the problem with PHP; an elegant solution is not recommended because PHP is not yet a mature enough language to handle such features quickly.
On the other hand, I no longer shy away from OOP because I saw the freecell winner used OOP, and I had attempted to do freecell without OOP and it became a NIGHTMARE!

Thanks folks!
I´m really enjoing the contest! I love programming, and I´ll keep using OOP, I´m just participating for fun!!!
