from performance point of view, is better to use a flag instead of calling several time is_user_in - which is slow because of db interaction (even if there is some caching, you still go through the db engine - mysql library). the flag operations are very simple and fast implemented.

Hello.

I'm using MySQL with ser. I need to check the ACL several places in my ser.cfg script. Is there any difference in calling is_user_in() multiple times versus calling it once and setting a flag. Then referencing the flag elsewhere rather than calling is_user_in() again? I guess I just don't know if calling is_user_in() hits the database every time or if it caches results.

Example:

if (is_user_in("Request-URI", "voicemail")) {


 setflag(31); 
};

some where else in ser.cfg:

if (isflagset(31) {
  do something
};
