Re: [PHP] Creation and transfer of object thru session

I'd probably go with #1 mainly because it's always available through $_SESSION - you don't have to hit the db to keep getting it. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
