Hi Kirsten,

You know, PHP can be used to create all kinds of files "on the fly". It is
not limited to html files.

I would suggest you rewrite your javascript into a seperate file.

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/javascript");
$action=@ intval($_GET['function']);
switch ($action)
{case 0: echo <<<_firstpart
function first(e)
{blablaabla
}
_firstpart;
break;
} ?>

When you need to call javascript functions, include them like this: <script
type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js.php?function=0"></script>

With this scheme, the browser can cache the different bits of the script, and
you don't need to send all of the script on each page hit.

Kind regards


Andy
