Because you've been taught that C is over complicated in an optimization standpoint. Just to spit out the above in html/php/js/css in a C framework is simpler than you think. A little printf. And you speak of optimization, but lack the prethought for implementation for these optimizations. How can you move toward a lower level if you don't start on one. You seem stuck on the PHP portion of this, rather than the whole outlook of using multiple languages and technologies through a centralized means to accomplish a specific end, which can be easily optimized. > > SQL = back end data storage > PHP = processing input/output, including back end data > HTML/XML = document layout for nice hierarchical format > JS/Flash = client side effects and processing to offload some server load > > Each already designed and made to do the the specific function and are > nicely coupled together.

You can then utilize C to partition each language for refinement in the overall. -- According to theoretical physics, the division of spatial intervals as the universe evolves gives rise to the fact that in another timeline, your interdimensional counterpart received helpful advice from me...so be eternally pleased for them. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
