Re: createing a php script with reloadable modules.

Ok feelings are also welcome :) yes the script will be running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I need the script to pick up the changes I make. I assumed that php would cashe the script it was curtly running and there for not pick up any changes I made while I was running it. which is what I need it to do. kill-9 ----- Original Message ----- From: "phobo" <antiphobo@paradise.net.nz> To: "kill-9" <kill-9@kill-9.dk>; "Php-Windows@Lists.Php.Net" <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] createing a php script with reloadable modules. > My feeling ... > > Your script wont be running for 24hours, so you can just edit the PHP file > directly, can't you?
