Isn't that what a database is for (e.g. MySQL)?

No. - It's that what a symbol table is for.:-) Best Regards, Oliver

You simply could create a table with 2 columns 'key' and 'value', and so you could easily store both :) I can see where Oliver is coming from, it would be a lot quicker to do it that way. But I can imagine there would be problems making something like that work with all the different types of Apache workers, etc... without some kind of separate daemon handling it. Regards Andrew

I think that will screw up some things, for example when using 2 the same scripts, on the same apache, but on different locations. In current ways, the programmer would create a database, and use a separate table for both scripts. But if these "application variables" are there, the programmer would use those, but then script 1 & 2 would both share the same variables, and so that would give a lot of trouble. Especially because a lot people use shared hosting these days, and that means that they all run on the same apache. and so they would share the same "application variables". So if person a & b both install the same script on a different domain. They would work like 1 script, and that just goes wrong. Tijnema
