Re: Caching Database Information

Hello all, I have some questions regarding caching information with PHP. I was thinking that I might cache all information that won't be changing for long periods of time...possibly only once a day or so, instead of querying the database for information every time. My question is: is there such as thing as too much caching? Take a look at running Squid in httpd accelarator mode as well. Other options to look at include installing turck (this only caches the compiled version of the script - not the scripts output). also i believe there is an extension named memcached or something similar which may be what you want.
