[PHP] Session abuse?

[Soma Interesting]

I'm wondering about the limitations of session variables in PHP4 with 
regards to over-use. For example I've been taking huge advantage of them 
and would like to store about 14k per session - its actually only three or 
four variables, but one of them is multiple depth array. Does this seem a 
reasonable use of session variables, or have I gone too far? :)


Thanks.

[PHP] Here Doc syntax

[Soma Interesting]

I'm having a real love/hate relationship with PHP's here-doc support.

I love that it spares me from breaking in and out of PHP mode or using echo 
and back slashes for outputting largish bodies of dynamic HTML

but I hate a) that the EOT; has to be the first thing on the line and b) I 
find that here-doc seems to make scripts unparsable on many occasions and I 
can never find the bug. I'd say 1/5 times I wind up breaking the script 
just sticking an:

echo EOT
table width="450" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" 
bordercolor="#00"
tr
td bgcolor=orange
font color=red{$error}/fontP
/td
/tr
/table
EOT;

into a page some place. Any suggestions from anyone?

Appreciated.

[PHP] parse speed vs require speed

[Soma Interesting]

I'm wondering if I should organize the functions for my project into a 
single large file and have only one include/require, or break the code out 
into separate function library files and use a number of includes/requires.

With a single large function library I'm guessing PHP would parse this 
every time a page is called. So I could loose some overhead by separating 
my database functions into one file, my administration functions into 
another, my presentation functions into another, etc... then only including 
the function pages necessary - likely cutting the amount of code being 
parsed in half for any given page.

But then I begin wondering about the speed of making a require() to each of 
these files. maybe three to five requires per page.

Lastly, what about caching or compiling the function libraries so they're 
not being parsed each time?

Any advice on this?
