Be aware that use of the application object in ASP has it's own drawbacks, so simply trying to copy their behaviour can cause problems. Additionally, misuse/abuse of caching can have a detrimental effect on performance as well. Before investigating caching, make sure that your queries and indexes are optimized. Once that's done, yes, the PEAR cache system is a good place to start. :) Michael Kimsal http://www.tapinternet.com/php PHP Training Courses 734-480-9961 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
