You say block with php-script is bad idea, module is preferred solution.<br>Unfortunatelly writing modules goes far beyond my capabilities (i'm quite<br>new to drupal, and what is even worse, to php too). <br><br>But what about creating block with iframe which calls this script within?<br>
Would it be better solution, than block with php-code? I could even move<br>that script completely away, to different web-vhost (on the same physical<br>server). In such a case, if that script fails, it should not crash the whole<br>
web-page, only that frame, I think...<br><br>That php-script works, when I call it directly. It does not need mysql,<br>only its own subdirectory structure, with files. I just want to include it<br>on my web-page, but rewriting it to module would take me at least<br>
a few months...<br><br>Jarry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 8:40 AM, Mukesh Agarwal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mukesh.agarwal17@gmail.com">mukesh.agarwal17@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The code gets compiled before whereas in case of block, only while execution does the code get loaded from db and then is compiled and executed. I think the php accelerators like eaccelerator and stuff will not be able to cache the op code from the code which is saved in db. <div>
