RE: [PHP] Include question

The global var wouldn't work. Even if both are loaded into memory before the script is ran, only one include will actually be executed along with the code, so only one would end up affecting a global var either way. What I'm looking at is if each include .html file is 50K, am I loading 100K into memory and then running the script, or running the script and only loading the appropriate 50K into memory when it's needed? ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bogdan Stancescu [mailto:mgv@fx.ro] > Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 11:12 PM > To: holmes072000@charter.net > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Include question > > Your second guess.
