Then the first page could just run a quick script that parses the XML of the second page to produce the data for the list on the first page. You could use simplexml (or dom, or the event parser, whatever you're comfortable with) to grab the info from the elements of second page and use the data as you need to in the generation of the first page. Without much work, you could even set up a short-term cache of the first page just so it renders quickly most of the time.

Re: [PHP] PHP GD - Create a "flag"
Thankyou Ashley, as I only need 5 colors for each image, my idea was to create a single pixel image for each color and save it on the hd (so that i don't have to create it every time). I've finally used this code: imagecopymerge($base, $img1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img2, 100, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img3, 200, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img4, 300, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img5, 400, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); ($imgX are 1*1 images. I have a function that checks if they exists) You can see the output here: http://aagmns47.facebook.joyent.us/sdna/. I think that copying a 1*1 image (and as said i'll cache all 1*1 colors on the hd) on a background is less resource-expensive than creating a coloured rectangle every time, isn't it?

Copying a single-pixel image and resizing it into a much larger area is always going to be more costly than using the native imagerectangle() function. Also, the above way allows you to create the colours dynamically for the image from within your script, and not have to create a new 1x1 pixel image each time!

[PHP] __call and recursion
Hello, I've defined a __call() method inside a class. Within the __call() method (after testing that the method exists and is callable I am using: call_user_func_array(array($this,$method), $args); However, this seems to be an infinite loop (and is crashing my test apache server).

Assuming that your __call() method was reached because no $method was defined, using call_user_func_array() to call $method on the same object is going to result in ... your __call() method getting called again. You need to map the $method to whichever class methods you *actually* want to call, instead of blindly trying to reissue the call.
