There /is/ a limit on script execution time (can be disabled) though, and a memory limit can be enabled as well. Apart from hitting those two (configurable) limits your script should be able to recurse indefinitely. A long running recursive script could run into other problems though; it can exhaust the amount of available memory, hog the CPU or (depending on the nature of the script) exhaust other system resources as well. -- Jesper Juhl juhl@eisenstein.dk
