A script which outputs an image will have the same URI over and over, so it will be cached. If the browser isn't cacheing as you want, you can always send a header telling the browser to cache it. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>If you store images that are played with a lot on the disk, it'll likely be slower than MySQL due to MySQL having better caching.I disagree. Depending on your setup, when a file based image is downloaded to a user's computer, its cached there. No need to fetch it again, till it expires. I don't think thats possible via images from a database, but I may be wrong. Feel free to correct me...
