Good catch. I drop about .2 seconds on my previous tests when I do that.

Hello,

If need more than one server, Apache pre-forked model may limited.
Otherwise it is just fine. Other than that, I think there are some
features that only work with Apache SAPI.

Actually it is just an hidden iframe that loads an HTML page with small
Javascript chunks that flush each COMET AJAX server response. This is a
regular HTTP request performed to the same script that serves that form.
The form AJAX plug-in can detect the AJAX request and respond
adequately. So it works equally well in all browsers including Webkit.

    Yes. Next week's report (and from there-on) should resolve that
once and for all.

    By the way, I don't remember seeing you report that issue before.
Just the character problems.

Hi All,

I've got something on my little mind, and please keep in mind I'm still
somewhat new to PHP Oop, so please excuse my silly ass if I ask
something that should be obvious.

I've got an application that I'm re-writing from PERL to PHP Oop. At the
beginning of the application, at log in, a session is created for this
user. What I would like to do is create a user object and store object
properties in that session.

So, if I create a user object, set the properties of said user object
and store that object in the user session will that object be available
throughout the application from the session?

thanks,
