Hello all,
I've been working with nightmare that is BroadVision for the last year or so and recently came across PHP so I've been playing with it a bit. I'm trying to reproduce a feature I use in BV a lot.
BV allows you to create a set of scripts which are parsed once when it's cgi process starts.
I'm trying to do the same thing in PHP. The closest I've come is to use the include directive to add in my set of functions. However, my understanding of this is that the included file will be parsed every time - not something I want to do as my "function library" might get quite large.
Anyone got any ideas? It looks like I might be able to do something clever with the function symbol table thang (forget what it's called for the time being) but want to know if there is an easier way before I go down that route.
Cheers,
Darren
