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

So, why can't you use require, I don't see? Another solution - use create_function (or whatever name was decided on lambda at the end) to compile the code and then run it multiple times. w>> w>> <?php w>> $string=<<<END w>> $i+1; w>> $a='test'; w>> END; w>> ?> w>> w>> It is simply *impossible* to store the real *unevalulated* string w>> >> $i+1;\n$a='test'; << into $string, because HERE DOCS evalulate w>> >> every w>> line (@dave: that?s perhaps the *reason of slowlyness*) - it would be Wrong. Heredoc evaluates nothing, it just resolves variables. But I think that's what you were meaning. Use \$ instead of $ if you don't want it (yes, preg_replace on user-supplied data). Or use create_function. w>> VERY handy if one is able to use here docs (or another, similar syntax) w>> which *stores everything* between the start/end marks without w>> evalulation (very fast, evalulation of code from other files is possible). w>> Extract: Option(?) to tell <<< not to evalulate code between start/end w>> markers Well, I see. Perl has <<"MARK" and <<'MARK' for this. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
