Re: [phplib] replacement variables From: Chris Padfield (contact <email protected>)

Yup that makes a lot of sense, i can have an array of variables, loop
through each one and do set_var on it.

Just thought of another advantage, as all my setting variables will be
stored in a mysql table, i can let the user create another replacement
variable that they can use without having to change any code at all. True
seperation of design from function :)

I have one question about processing time, is there going to be a large
performance drop doing a set_var on say 50 variables for every page? i ask
because not all variables would get used on every page, i just wonder if it
is worth adding extra code to only call the variables that are used by that
specific template.

Thanks for the help

p.s. complete aside: re: reply-to

My reason for suggesting munging the reply to address (learnt a new word
anyway) is i think when replying most people will not reply to the list with
a follow up, mainly because most of us probably feel other people won't be
interested or whatever. Should i have repied to this message to the group or
to the specific person who sent it? i think i would natrually verge on the
conservative side and more often reply to the individual. This is however
bad as other people listening in miss out. JMHO.
