I use this code on a generic map and it takes 60+(!) seconds to populate the map. This cant be normal. Addresses are all geocached in the local database and the select statement doesnt take that long. Whats wrong?

Edit: 60+ seconds for ~150 points, 10+ seconds for 15-25 points.

Code:

<body onload="onLoad()">
<table width=100% height=100%>
<tr width=100% height=100%>
<td width=100% height=100%>
<?
    require('includes/GoogleMapAPI.class.php');
    require('includes/mysql.php');
    $map = new GoogleMapAPI('lalalala');
    $map->setDSN('connection string here');
    $map->disableSidebar();
    $map->setInfoWindowTrigger('mouseover');
    $map->setWidth('100%');
    $map->setHeight('100%');
    $map->disableDirections();
    //$map->setControlSize('large');
    //$map->disableZoomEncompass();
    $map->setAPIKey('stuff here');

 $queryBarsMap = "select * from bars";
 $resultBarsMap = mysql_query($queryBarsMap, $link);
 while($rowBarsMap = mysql_fetch_array($resultBarsMap)) {
 $mapAddress = $rowBarsMap[5]." ".$rowBarsMap[6]." ".$rowBarsMap[7]." ".$rowBarsMap[8];
 $mapStreet = $rowBarsMap[5];
 $mapCity = $rowBarsMap[6];
 $mapState = $rowBarsMap[7];
 $mapZip = $rowBarsMap[8];
 $barNameMap = $rowBarsMap[3];


$map->addMarkerByAddress($mapAddress,$barNameMap,"<div class=gmap style=\"color:#004276\; font-size:16px\;font-family: Helvetica\;\"><b>".$barNameMap."</b><br />".$mapStreet."<br />".$mapCity.", ".$mapState." ".$mapZip."</div>");

  ?>

    <?php $map->printHeaderJS(); ?>
    <?php $map->printMapJS(); ?>
    <?php
     $map->printMap();
?>
</td></tr></table>

Run some profiling, see where the time is being taken. Is the PHP script taking this long, or does it finish right away, then the javascript is what is taking the time?

When I comment out "$map->addMarkerByAddress" it takes < 1 second. How do I start poking around this function to see what is taking it so long?

It must be looking up all the addresses, so either it is the first time, or your caching is not functioning properly.

That was my guess. My table is populated with geocoded addresses. How do I verify that it is pulling from my DB server?

I don't think there is anything built in, you'll have to insert to debug statements to see what is happening. It uses the address string as the key, so any little difference would be a cache miss.

Would this correctly test if its pulling from the local GEOCODES table correctly?

Code:
    function addMarkerByAddress($address,$title = '',$html = '',$tooltip = '') {
        if(($_geocode = $this->getGeocode($address)) === false) {
            echo "not caching<br>";
            return false;
        }
        echo "pulling from cache<br>";
        return $this->addMarkerByCoords($_geocode['lon'],$_geocode['lat'],$title,$html,$tooltip);
    }

It should. Also check the php processing time, and check if php is fetching data over http during the process.

I have verified that it is indeed pulling from cache. How would I go about seeing if php is fetching data over http?

if its pulling from the cache, is the php processing time long? or is the time coming from javascript after the fact?

Each addMarkerByAddress pulls from cache and takes between .2 and .3 seconds.

I'm fairly certain its from the php processing time.

Edit: or doing 1 mysql query per address. How do I check the mysql_query time?

Double Edit: I have done the following to test query response times:

Code:

/*
echo $mapAddress."<br>";
//$map->addMarkerByAddress($mapAddress,$barNameMap,"<div class=gmapstyle=\"color:#004276\;font-size:16px\;font-family:Helvetica\;\"><b>".$barNameMap."</b><br />".$mapStreet."<br />".$mapCity.", ".$mapState." ".$mapZip."</div>");
*/

 $queryBarsMapAddress = "select * from GEOCODES where address = '".$mapAddress."'";
 $resultBarsMapAddress = mysql_query($queryBarsMapAddress, $link);




The mysql query to the GEOCODES table takes between .03 and .04 seconds where the addMarkerByAddress takes between .3 and .4 seconds. I think its safe to say its not the DB, hmmm.

I think I have tracked it down to the PEAR connection. I have installed and tested the same script at home on my own server with a local DB and it works just fine. Script execution takes .33 seconds TOTAL to grab all the points. Now, if I can do an identical set of MySQL queries outside of pear it goes fast, but once it goes through pear thats where I hit the slowdown.

Any ideas?


Yet another edit: I have configured my hosting to use my home mysql server and it STILL goes just as slow. At this point I am convinced my host is somehow limiting the number of queries you can do through PEAR to MySQL somehow.

I've been wanting to update the GoogleMapAPI to use the PHP5 PDO library as an option, I just haven't gotten around to it. There should be no problem using the PEAR library though. Do you have an index on the address column?

I dont. I have read about creating indexes on tables but it still confuses the hell out of me.

if you don't have an index on the address column and you have a LOT of addresses in there, that is going to be a performance problem. in MySQL its pretty easy. The example that comes with Google Maps puts the index in:

Code:
CREATE TABLE GEOCODES (
          address varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
          lon float default NULL,
          lat float default NULL,
          PRIMARY KEY  (address)
        );
