RE: [PHP] stripping white space?

> /cache/data/articles/0-24/... > /cache/data/articles/25-50/... > /cache/data/searches/... this was our original idea, the difficulty is that there's the need to access this directory from several places (mod_rewrite, php and postrges). It is easy to access but might be hard to combine the URL together. But you're right, on UNIX systems, if I am not wrong, you cannot hold more then 1024 (?) files in a single directory. So subfolders is the way to go.

I'll do my best to write a short blurb on how to use it today and publish the code. I also have to do a zillion other things (like work on my new house), so I can't promise it'll actually be there today! > There's a directory called /cached which we will store the file with the > exactly same file names (with mod_rewrite there's no need to use any > ?var=val&etc=etc&, you just get it looking like a directory) so it is > extremely easy to locate a file. > > ie: if you go to a file > > articles/2000/10/26/features/doom > > then apache looks first into > > cached/articles-2000-10-26-features-doom.txt I can see one problem that you're gonna run into and that is that this directory will contain thousands of files. Not many OS's can handle that. In our case, each article has an article ID and the caching module automatically creates subdirectories that will hold a number of cached pages. Additionally, I can assign page 'types' to a page. These will generate new subdirectories as well. My caching directory looks like this: /cache/data/articles/0-24/... /cache/data/articles/25-50/... /cache/data/searches/...
