(I am using PHP as an Apache module). If you write an extension module, yes, although this could be considered overkill, and you'll probably find that the maintenance cost outweighs the runtime speed benefits. Your OS should do a reasonable job (or a really good job if it's Unix based) at caching the file contents and the ZE is pretty fast at spotting inline HTML in your php files, so I wouldn't worry so much about the performance of this aspect, unless you have some real CPU-intensive code in your frequently included files, or a large number of hits. If that is the case, consider using APC (if you don't want to pay money), or the Zend Accelerator (if you have some money, or if your site is a non-commerical community site - see zend.com for details). --Wez. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
