On a shared host? Don't use files for those things, use your database instead. For cache you can use SQLite if you really feel like staying in the filesystem. For uploaded files, store them in a table in MySQL. As a bonus, this makes backups easier. All you have to do is back up the database and you're done. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
