I would like to internationalize my application. I'm looking at setting a bunch of variables in an include file. Should I use $_SESSION Variables or $Local variables. Which it more effecient and what are the drawbacks? Is my approach flawed? Is there a limit to the number of $_SESSION Vars I can use? Thanks! (B)

If you are going to want access to different variables across the site you are going to want to use sessions [php.net] and not regular local variables. After all, this is what they are for ;) >> efficiency I'd say that both are pretty much going to have the same efficiency. As for the limit of sessions, I'm not quite sure, but I believe it varies from browser to browser.

Storing an excessive amount of data in the session can dramatically slow down your page loads. Read jatar_k's experience with this issue. [webmasterworld.com]
