I thought about this some more, and even started writing some tests for it. Now I'm pretty convinced that this is not the way to go. Because map functions can emit() many times per document, you'd often end up transferring much more data than you need to - if a document maps to 5 keys in your key range you'll get the same document over the wire 5 times. The better course of action would be to use the (non-existent) _load_docs API to load multiple documents. Then you'd do 2 requests from PHP - one to load the view results, and one to request the (unique) set of documents associated with the view rows. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
