I was curious if anyone out there has some pros and cons to storing a website template that is extracted from a mysql db and stored in a session... is this an efficient way to do it? also... does anyone know what the size limitations for a session would be?
There's no practical limit on the size of sessions, but they are not the place for template files. Neither are databases. Use the file system for files ;) and include() or fopen() the templates, etc. Use Smarty or a similar system if you want caching. -- ---John Holmes...
