Does what you say mean that, if a setheader occurs within an orderfile, that after the [/orderfile] those changes *then* get written to disk? If so, does an [/orderfile] always write to disk, or only if changes are made to the order within the context (ie: by using one or more setheaders)? Also, can my shopping carts be moved outside of the web directory tree, if I wanted to move all these carts to a RAM disk (and would that be beneficial, or a waste of time and an unnecessary risk)?Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150 Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
