Re: GLOBAL VARIABLES

Hi Arun > 2. Can i store variables which is available to all the users of the site and also reflects the > changes that any user does without writing it onto a physical file. Your example doesn't mention where people are going to be storing their results and how those stored results will affect the future pages viewed by other users. Regardless, the answer is no. Either you'll have to store it to a file directly using PHP's file commands or to a database file using PHP's database commands. > 3. How does this approach compare in terms of reliability and performance to that of storing > and retrieving from a database. A database is generally a more efficient way to store and retrieve information. --Dan PS: Consider turning line wrapping on in your email program. It'll help people in reading your message and responding to it because lines will be quoted properly, rather than running on and on and on. -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y More than just answers.
