Yeah, but why waste time and efficiency? Currently I am involved in Midgard CMD project and at the very begining we choosed ows PHP API as well as DB layer and we gained a boost that lets our CMS run on heavily loaded sites. I'd suggest a vpopmail PHP extension with deamon communication layer. So that operations would be performed on lower level and would be free from lazy programmer faults. Most of PHP apps are non-efficient because of bad implementation of basic procedures like SQL calls, file handling etc. Solt
