Each mini-site has it's own color scheme but has all the same menu items and/or content of the other site such as Photos, News, etc. I can't seem to figure out how to ensure programatically that the...

Does enabling the configuration option with-config-file-scan-dir when compiling PHP lead to performance issues? Specifically, does this tell the PHP binary to do a file system scan every time the PHP module is loaded to respond to a request? I imagine it does, and that having multiple ini files causes just a little more disk access o...

The issue that I'm running into is that if an action is t...
