Re: auto_prepend/append: does the PHP engine cache the

Just as a note about all this: if you have a deep 'standard' include tree (same 30-40 files), there is a decent amount of overhead just from parsing all the include files, even with inexpensive code.

Your OS should do a reasonable job (or a really good job if it's Unix based) at caching the file contents and the ZE is pretty fast at spotting inline HTML in your php files, so I wouldn't worry so much about the performance of this aspect, unless you have some real CPU-intensive code in your frequently included files, or a large number of hits. If that is the case, consider using APC (if you don't want to pay money), or the Zend Accelerator (if you have some money, or if your site is a non-commerical community site - see zend.com for details). --Wez. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php // George Schlossnagle
