Have you actually profiled your code to see where the pain points are vs saying 'module?' Are you also running an opcode cache? From there you can use data, block, or full page caching. Finally you can figure out if you want to store it in flat files or memory. I'd start by knowing what is actually the slow part using Xdebug and nail a few down. There is no end all solution. Some pages really don't have a lot going on and are hardly updated so full page is fine. Others might have something that is hard to generate on a sidebar, so block caching would be more suitable for that. As previously mentioned, Zend_Cache is up to the task. There is also a PEAR package called Cache_Lite which would work to if you're interested in file based caching. -- http://www.ericbutera.us/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
