Thanks for doing this script though I got an error when it tried to truncate the order table. I had to modify it thought to allow the script to complete.

Here’s what I changed:

Original Code:
$sql = sprintf(‘TRUNCATE TABLE %s%s’, DB_PREFIX, $table);

New Code ( Quotes around the %s%s ):
$sql = sprintf(‘TRUNCATE TABLE `%s%s`’, DB_PREFIX, $table);

Thanks for the feedback Abhishek. w/r/t the speed, do you use any caching for your blog? APC is a truly amazing thing: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/apc-object-cache-backend-for-wordpress/

Cheers!

Thanks for wp_reset_postdata information.

I feel this has also speeded up my page :)

Comment on How to Save a File in GridFS with Lithium by Mike G.

Lithium is a complete win in my book as it’s pure 5.3 code. This may or may not be an issue to client work commonplace today. If you do a lot of greenfield development, this is definitely something to consider.

I’d say that Lithium has a lot of echos from Cake (from what I understand, it’s Cake’s unofficial successor), but is way, way more powerful. The filter system affords some great AOP code without having to juggle events and callbacks common all over lots of PHP projects (WP, Magento …). It’s made possible because of lambdas which are only available in 5.3 and Lithium is the first framework I’ve seen to support these.

Lithium looks pretty interesting. How does it compare to other frameworks like Codeigniter?

Been there, done that…amazing time regardless of the multiple hour+ traffic jams they’ve cause.

I hope it didn’t last 10 days.

I’m in Florida right this very minute. Sadly, I’m unlikely to be here for the conference, though. But I get to see you in New York all the time for free. :-)
