Nice touch there Pieman :winky:
Anyone know how much server load writting a files takes? And average times of completion?
Re: [PHP]When making an 'installing' script.
Not much, less than writing to a mysql database anyway.

That's because MySQL writes it to a file and has additional features which slows it down.
You should keep file reading to a minimum, and read as much as you can in one go (as far as that is possible in PHP).
Re: [PHP]When making an 'installing' script.
I won't be reading from the file, what i will be doing is writing base HTML code into it which will form a page , kinda having to make my own CMS for a group at school.
And this would seem to be the best way i can think of , to allow them to be able to edit pages etc (as they do not know how to change pages/ code / use a FTP client >.<)

That is kind of a bad idea. :x
A better idea would be to have a basic layout and generate the content with another script which you include in the basic layout. That's how I do it with http://pie-designs.net/blog/
Re: [PHP]When making an 'installing' script.
That's what i am doing, i will have a script generate a page like:
Code:
#html here
<?php echo $pageContent; ?>
#finish html
So there will be a standard page layout written to a file, but the content for that page is grabbed from the database.
Either i didn't make myself clear enough, or i didn't quite understand what you ment.
Re: [PHP]When making an 'installing' script.
Yeah that's what I meant. I thought you meant you'd generate a page and then write it to a html file.
Re: [PHP]When making an 'installing' script.
Ah right, nah , sorry for not making myself clear enough.
