My own PHP/Zend Cache in devlopment..

Hi all, I've begun patching PHP404pl1 to support caching. My caching has the following pros/cons as compared to the Zend Cache: Pros: * free * similar performance Cons: * still in development; only partially working * no support * no pretty web-based admin or stats package * does not handle include's (elegantly) Remaining TODO (somewhat prioritized): * serialize zend_op_array.static_variables * serialize 2 or 3 other zend_op_array members who are not yet understood * serialize CG()'s and EG()'s, etc. where necessary (reverse engineering is most painful here) * add time/datestamp check to caching * add all parameters to ".ini" system * add statistics data capturing * ensure portability * publish and merge into PHP codebase (if allowed) I love PHP, and I think it's primary authors deserve to make a buck, so I don't intend my patch to ever exceed Zend Cache in feature set. On some level too, I hope Zend Cache might come down in price so us hobbyists could purchase it (which is what prompted me to do this myself); for $1500/CPU is out of control ridiculous. I have achieved first functionality with my system (yes it actually works), but, could use an experienced PHP hacker's assistance on completing it. My current stumbling block is the serialization of several (HashTable*)'s. If you think you can and want to help out, please send me a message! I only really need one more person's help to wrap this baby up. The PHP community as a whole will certainly be grateful for a Free Cache.. Thanks, Steve (steve@waits.net)
