Re: [PHP] General .htaccess question
This should not bother you. If you get enough load then .htaccess file is cached in the memory. If your load is moderate then it does not make much difference. And since your webhost enabled this feature they should know what they are doing.

This is the perfect candidate for a question on an apache list, don't you think?

Re: [PHP] General .htaccess question
In your 404.php script, add a line like error_log( '404.php invoked' ), then check your log. Cheers, Rob.
