RE: [PHP] Heavy Load

That's what I think too. As a web designer I like to have a index.html?key=val instead .php or .php3?key=val In the first case you can give a god impression to a user, because it will not be too confused by seeing all the software instead a normal website... -----Original Message----- From: Jason Brooke [mailto:jason@qgl.org] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 4:31 PM To: Larentium; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Heavy Load The load is not the same, because now httpd probably has to read through .html files looking for <?php, <? or <% characters depending on your configuration. But whether or not you'll notice the difference is another story. In my experience with both lightly loaded (ten thousand http requests per day) and fairly heavily loaded servers (~5 million http requests per day), telling Php to parse .html files as well as .php has not caused any problems, nor noticeably increased load. Maybe you can give it a test and just turn it off if you think it caused negative impact? jason If all of the html files on a site were PHP files, would it put an extra load an Apache Server with the PHP module for having to process all of the files? Say if you wanted to use a PHP header and footer on every html page. Or is the work load almost the same for plain html files and PHP files with simple includes or print commands?
