Is it possible to measure data set in terms of bytes?
I was searching for the same as I was required to calculate the bytes of the search I am making on to a QuickBase Table for some debugging process.
Data set could be as simple as a result of the operation
Select * from employees
which fetches a 1000 something rows of 5 columns each
Is it possible to calculate that in a PHP application?
I have not been very successful while googling this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
strlen() returns the number of bytes consumed, so you should be able to use something like:
<?php
// example of what you might get back from a SQL SELECT
$data = array (
array (1, 'foo', 'bar'),
array (2, 'baz', 'biz'),
);
// tally up the byte count for every scalar in the set
$bytes = 0;
array_walk_recursive($data, function ($item) use (&$bytes) {
$bytes += strlen((string)$item);
});
echo $bytes . "
";
?>
