That would probably be set by your hosting company, rather than Linux. Having too many files or folders in one folder causes the entire server to slow down. I know - I have just inherited one with 90,000 images in one folder! But it's a dedicated server, so the hosting company allowed the programmer to be a silly as he wanted - he didn't affect anyone else. -- Pete Clark http://www.hotcosta.com http://www.spanishholidaybookings.com Community email addresses: Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shortcut URL to this page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/php-list Yahoo!
