Caching with Apache or PHP

[CWebguy]

Sorry if this has been answered before.

I'm looking for an easy way to cache pages and even more specifically dynamic parts of a webpage that access a database such as a sidebar or footer. Can someone point me in the right direction of what I should need to look at?

Thanks a bunch.

You could use squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) in accelerator mode as a front end.

Since 'includes' are included into the page within the server and then the page is sent as a whole once that has been done, I see no way to cache part of the HTML of an HTML page. You would cache the whole page.

You can cache the images, CSS and JS files, and that would have a greater impact than those small bits of HTML code ever could.
