Last benchmarks I saw clocked in at 5 to 10% loss to run all .htm and .html files through PHP. That was awhile ago, though. Test on a dev server with apache benchmark (ab) before and after and see. PHP doesn't really *DO* much until it hits '?php' if you think about it. It just reads the file, uses something like strtok() to search for '?php' and spits it back out. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can see this being a problem if the document was a picture or a video or some such - but is thre a hidden argument list to auto_prepend_file where I can force inclusion of this file, if x, y, and z document types were requested? Not the way you describe it, but... In .htaccess, put: Files .xyz ForceType application/x-httpd-php /Files Now all your .xyz files ARE PHP files. auto_prepend will happen. PHP will parse the files but do nothing unless they happen to contain the character combination ?php (or ? or ?= if you have short_tags on) This may or may not be suitable in your environment. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
