Re: performance improvement using include(), possible to cache included code?

You are doing looping include? Sure you get performance loss - you are getting read every time. Use require at least - that'll insert the thing once. w>> 2.) if possible I would like to avoid eval() include is read+eval, basically. w>> 3.)

Err, not exactly understood what you mean. Could you give an example. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
