RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering?

I "sliiiightly" disagree with that. I don't think memory consumption is an issue, or at least if it happens it is a rare situation in an old server. If using output_buffering is faster than not using it then display() should use output_buffering transparently. An option to switch outptut buffering can be added for systems with problems as there is a switch to prevent directory creation for the templates_c dir. > -----Original Message----- > From: Monte Ohrt [mailto:monte@ispi.net] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 1:21 PM > To: luis > Cc: 'Smarty Dev' > Subject: RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering? > > > ... and he says right in the slideshow, be careful on low > memory systems.
