The question here is whether it's worthwhile to optimize for the case where you have 30+ includes per page. Is it that common? I think that sites where this actually matters should employ some form of preprocessing for their scripts where include/require directives get interpolated by the contents of the respective file. This can be easily implemented either in about 50 LOC of PHP or sh/awk. That won't work of course, if you rely heavily on dynamic includes where the filename is determined at run-time. - Sascha -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
