    Scripts output HTML usually anyway
    Well thats what I though - with php some processing is being done but with pure html it isn't - I thought I was just missing something . . .

    If PHP caches scripts in memory versus reading HTML files off of a disk, it might be faster - but it's more a web server config issue than a strength of PHP. BTW, there are specialized web servers for static content because of Apache's slowness in this regard, IIRC.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
