#19657 [Bgs->Opn]: confirm that auto_pre/append causes a disk read for every script invocation

ID: 19657 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: jc@mega-bucks.co.jp -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Red Hat Linux 7.2 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: ooops .... wrong window ... reopening Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-30 04:28:19] hholzgra@php.net from: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php "The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is running as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI version." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-29 07:50:59] jc@mega-bucks.co.jp I am not sure, but I have been told that the php/ini directive auto_pre/append cause a disk read of the pre/appended file for every PHP script that is called even if PHP is used as an Apache module. If this is true could you add it to the documentation on those two php.ini directives. The reason I needed to know was that it would have been efficient for me to define() very large strings that I use in almost all my scripts as constants and have a string_constants.inc file auto-prepended if PHP kept the file in memory and didn't do a disk read for every php script invocation. But since it doesn't (I am told) then my idea is not feasible :( Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19657&edit=1
