Thanks I.Rezvin!
I am probably passing by value. Ugh! I need to fix that mess.
I also really appreciate the link to Lazy PHP. It looks like a great
article.
I already had to use a batch script to put all my client-side
JavaScript object files into one optimized script for deployment. That
made a tremendous improvement for the page loading time. I'm going to
do the same for the PHP code.
You have excellent advice. I am indebted to you.
