There is no good reason to use ZO unless you have bought code that requires it, and the code has been encrypted to require it. If you run your own server, you would be far better served with something to actually speed your code, like APC (http://pecl.php.net/apc) or Eaccellerator (http://eaccelerator.net/) that is a compiled-code cache. And then learn how to write good code as well. Alister -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
