As mentioned in other mails the load will not be the same. Each page would have to go through PHP, before httpd would sent it. Though, the difference wouldn't be very big, while PHP just let normal HTML run through without any check. Therefore, for instance, it's also faster to have normal HTML outside the PHP tags, instead of letting PHP writing it like: ---fast------ <?//PHPFILE?> <b>some html</b> ---slower------ <?//PHPFILE echo "<b>some html</b>"; ?> ---- The differnece aren't big, but it's there. --- Regards, Lars Holm Nielsen <lars@xenux.dk> XENUX ApS - The Linux People http://www.xenux.dk
