It has been immensely useful for my projects. http://pwee.sourceforge.net/ Lance > -----Original Message----- > From: ssamuel [mailto:ssamuel@websulting.com] > Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2003 7:05 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] caching variables and preloading functions > > > Hi, > > I am looking for a way to do the following with PHP on Apache. > > 1) I have a list of functions that I would like loaded into memory when > the Apache server starts so that other .PHPs can call these functions at > any time.
