Hell even the 'images folder' had to be split across multiple servers in the code I finished today. A lot of Robert's structure makes complete sense. I never keep libraries inside the webroot that simply don't need to be there. Infact if a script doesn't output anything 'web related' (image, rss, html) or process data from the site, it doesn't need to live in the webroot at all. I use a similar principal for the 'admin' area of the site too, which I'm sure you'd hate ;) but I always code my admin areas so that they can run on an entirely different domain name and/or server if needs be. Only as a last resort do they ever live in /admin, and never will they share libs that the 'public' site uses, they are entirely stand-alone entities. You're right in that it is down to personal preference though :) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
