Hi, As others have pointed out, the real problem is the huge <OPTION> list. You may however get a slightly lower time by using mysql_fetch_row instead of mysql_fetch_array. Regards Henrik Hornemann -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Robin Kopetzky [mailto:sparkyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sendt: 21. december 2003 23:16 Til: PHP DB Group Emne: PHP/DB speed Good afternoon! I am writing a project and have a speed concern... The code I am using is thus and is retrieving around 2,500 records: $result = mysql_query($sql) while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { build <OPTION> stmt } Is there a faster method? Timed this with microtime and .9 seconds to retrieve the data and output the web page seems REAL slow. Now this is on a T-Base-100 network but I imagine it would be like watching paint dry in a 56K modem. Any thoughts, ideas on accelerating this? I did try ob_start() and ob_end_flush() and no help... Thank for any help in advance.
