Got a weird problem
I'm using eg the following statement in a banners.php file
$banners = <<< EOF
pure html goes here
EOF;
I checked the filesize of the _acp file dropped in apc_cache and it was 111 kb !!! (the HTML characters are aabout 5,5 kb)
Then i drop the << EOF statements and instead use
$banners = "HTML with \s to identify special characters"; and the filesize of the dropped apc_cached file drops to 6 kb !
(mind you, banners.php contains ONLY HTML defined as various parameters, absoultely no other calls or routines).
Now, why is there that HUGE difference in twose two files (ie comparing 111 kb with 6 kb) ???? when the only thing differing is the way i'm defining the parameters (EOF statements, or "" defined).
ps. and other thing: does the situation gets even worse when 'requiring' PHP files, with a non PHP extension ? ie i my templateslib file grow up to 410 kb when saved as templates.lib (with PHP syntax) , when it's only like 17 kb in size.
