I’ve got a page that seems to be in full working order, but I’m having major performance issues (think 30 second delay occasionally from these calls) from what I assume is throwing too many individual POST requests to the server.

Am I right in thinking that there’s some way of doing it all in one call and that doing so would improve performance, and what’s the easiest way of doing it? Perhaps my use of eval() is part of the problem – or maybe my webhost is just shit.

        function startCheckAchs(){
            //hide the loading alert
            $(document).ajaxStop(function(){
                $(this).unbind("ajaxStop");
                popup('loadingAlert');
            });
            //load lifeTimeBaked
            lifeTimeBaked = loadAch("lifetimebaked");
            loadAch("ach_started", "#achStarted", "achstarted");
            loadAch("ach_round1", "#achRound1", "achround1");
            loadAch("ach_round2", "#achRound2", "achround2");
            loadAch("ach_round3", "#achRound3", "achround3");
            if( rewards == 1) {
                loadAch("ach_baked100", "#achBaked100", "achbaked100");
                loadAch("ach_baked500", "#achBaked500", "achbaked500");
                loadAch("ach_baked1000", "#achBaked1000", "achbaked1000");
                loadAch("ach_nobread", "#achNoBread", "achnobread");
                loadAch("ach_nodough", "#achNoDough", "achnodough");
                loadAch("ach_noflour", "#achNoFlour", "achnoflour");
                loadAch("ach_allach", "#achAllAch", "achallach");
            }
        }

function loadAch(ach, achDiv, achVar){
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "scripts/loadach.php",
                data: {"achievement" : ach},
                dataType: "text",
                success: function(result){
                    if ( achDiv && achVar && result == 1){
                        $(achDiv).show();
                        eval(achVar + " = 1");
                        return result;
                    } else {
                        return result;
                    }
                }
            });
        }

Loadach.php:

$achievement=trim($_POST['achievement']);
$user =  $_SESSION['userid'];

$query = "SELECT $achievement FROM breadusers WHERE userid='$user'";
$link =@mysql_query($query);
if(!$link){
    die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
}   
echo mysql_result($link, 0);
?>

    You are currently loading achievements individually, while you should be doing something like:

    <?php
$query = "SELECT ach_started, ach_round1 FROM breadusers WHERE userid='$user'";
$link = mysql_query($query);
$results = mysql_fetch_assoc($link);

echo json_encode($results);
?>

    Then, in your javascript code, parse the JSON response (setting dataType: “json” should work), loop over the returned object (has keys such as ach_started, ach_round1, etc etc), and show/hide divs as needed.
