I am not all that worried about one or two cases like this...but got knows
once I start building conditionals I start finding more and more "what ifs"
so I tend to be a little gun shy. I always want to build everything into
one block with a lot of contingencies....the problem now is that I am going
to the opposite extreme...I have twenty three departments each with the
same layout needs but completely separate datasets, so I have built one set
of pages/page elements to serve a one department and now I just have to
copy those pages/element to the other departments and change the topic
numbers...( I have 23 datasets, I don't see a way around this)
.......there should be an easier way to do this. I know it is the least
elegent way to do it but it is relatively fast. Before anyone calls me a
wimp...yes the programmer in me wants to have done all of this with one
wicked efficient script but speed of implementation was an issue and at
least this way I can have an intern do the copy and pasting..then I can go
back later and boil everything down to a perfect shining example of perfect
context aware code...when I have the time. ( Emile, that will be the day
after I jump out of a flying airplane...not likely, at least until I come
to the Midgard meeting, and beers) In the mean time it would be so much
easier if there were a mechanism to copy and/or share code objects from one
section to another...or at least something cooler than student slave
labour....which works but they take up space and smell funny....
sorry...

Well, yes. Every PHP instruction in a page is going to burden the server
to some extent. The new caching functionality may alleviate the problem
somewhat. Prelimenary information available at
