But you still need to read ini-files into arrays, right? Wouldn't this cause more time to be consumed (e.g. if you use one of those ini- file-reading-classes) than simply including a php-file? Since the codes are not to be adjusted by a user and don't change regularly I don't see why an ini-file would be needed. Anybody has experience on the perfomance-questions? From my side a php-file should be faster when included. Stefan
