thanks in advanced

this is my piece of code for fake,

to create 5 users, its take 5 seconds

I don’t know why ! :expressionless:




        $userInfo = [];

        $userInfoForDb = [];

        $faker = Factory::create('fa_IR');

        if(Yii::$app->request->isPost){

            $countPostedData = \Yii::$app->request->post()['count'];

            for($index = 1; $index <= $countPostedData; $index++){

                $userInfo[$index]['email'] = $faker->email;

                $userInfo[$index]['password'] = $faker->password;

                $userInfoForDb[$index] = '("' . $userInfo[$index]['email'] .'","'. \Yii::$app->security->generatePasswordHash($userInfo[$index]['password']) . '")';

            }

            

            if(\Yii::$app->request->post()['count'] !== 0){

                \Yii::$app->db->createCommand('INSERT INTO user(email, password_hash) VALUES' . implode(',', $userInfoForDb))->execute();

            }

        }

I don’t think it’s Faker. The password hashing is a more likely cause of the problem: yii\base\Security::generatePasswordHash() is intentionally slow. Its speed can be adjusted by setting the $cost parameter but don’t make it too fast for production.
