The cost of PHP versus CF not counting server license is not that far off.
If you want top of the line performance with ZendCache you will need to pay
a hefty price (www.zend.com). If you want to use Zend's php editor you have
to pay a price too. The caching system is part of CF already.

I kinda think the new CF functions as poor man's objects without the
protection and inheritance stuff.
I don't agree with the fact that objects are too complex are not suited for
scripting languages. If used right, they actually save tons of work/time
long term and can actually make our programs
Allaire claims that the latest CF builds are dramatically faster and
especially on linux. I have not done any formal tests so I can't say it is
true or not. But I can safely say that CF is now finally on a bit of diet.

Hallo everyone,
I want to ask some question that related with
ColdFusion's feature.
What is the meaning of dynamic load balancing?
When the traffic is divided up to separate servers in real time. For
example. You have 3 servers that's clustered or load balanced to do the same
thing.
It's possible but you won't get it out of coldfusion since it can't control
the client side. What you need is javascript, java, or flash. You can use cf
to pick what sounds are played but you can't use cf to play them.

Well..one day I decided I had to add extra security to my custom client
storage system and what's a better way to do this
than to record the IP (cgi.remote_addr) when creating the client instance
and verify the IP stored and real-time IP in addition to the cookie keys
stored on the browser.
We have several default variables associated client states:
LastVisited,HitCount, etc
So we have two sets of client variable types: custom and allaire's global
set.
After watching the queries on the sql server through the sql profiler, CF
calls two separate queries for each client request.
It's less programming and a lot of back end crunching at the end.
For every page view, record the cgi.http_referr string, the current
cgi.querystring and/or cgi.scriptname, and/or other additional parameters
such as the userid/ip address, time, etc...as much unique data as you will
need in the

If you want to break up the stories into multiple pages I would suggest

I don't think PHP or mySQL would help your situation since the problem is

I would recommend Ben Forta's CF books since he has a very clear section on
how to implement that. In the simplist form, you have something like this:

CFPARAM Name="Variables.MaxPerPage" default="50"
CFQUERY Name="myData"
CFLOOP Quey="myData"
I'm curious. Is it possible to use the built-in indexing engine bundled with
