However, in order to support an online community with hundreds of users, you won't be able to rely on the stability of the ISAPI module at this time. So, you'd have to use the CGI version, which will significantly higher the load on your server. All in all - you'd have to actually see if it does the job for you. I don't think that too many people have done this before (but if someone here has - by all means - say so :) Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
