Don't take my example literally, please - I just wanted to point that there is some globally visible storage accessible to all pages, be it session or something else, but which exists while the server is running and is very fast (i.e. not in DB). > That never works in PHP nor ASP, not even with php's > register_globals.

Again - session data s something that is transparently (more or less) accessible to all pages. dhp doesn't do this, as far as I can see. If application is a set of pages, there should be a way to share data between pages without using complicated or expensive persistent storage. /Alexander
