Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.shm-has-var.php exists since 5.3.0 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-11 12:24:58] ilovekernelpanic at yahoo dot de Description: ------------ shm provides more speed than files or databases. But there is no proper way to check if a field exists. You can do @shm_get_var($connection, $field) !== false to check it. But: -With custom error handlers you will get a warning, when there is no such $field -It needs a lot of time to process the warning, but it should be fast There should be a function shm_has_var or shm_var_exists. A function shm_export_vars could convert the shared memory to an associative array. A function shm_export_keys: Like array_keys(shm_export_vars($connection)) but faster Those functions are very essential. When you don't have them you have to use the shared-memory as a linked list. A function shm_get_size: Return the size of the shared memory segment. Not necessary, because you can store it using shm_put_var($connection, 0, $size), but such a function would be more secure Maybe also shm_resize could be possible. With this function there could be better object oriented array like wrappers form shared memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48529&edit=1
