Hey, while you guys are talking about those DB classes, I've always opted to not use them because of associated overhead costs in cpu load, processing time, memory requirements, etc.. In other words, pages don't display as quickly when you add all of that overhead. Maybe things have changed though. Does anyone have opinions or specs on how much overhead the libraries add? -Ed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
