Re: Server-Wide Persistent objects in PHP?

Importing objects into the current Zend/PHP instance and then updating them at request shutdown introduces a lot of tricky synchronization problems, I think it's very difficult to implement reliably with Zend as well. IMHO a better solution would be using a remote object access mechanism. There are several choices available today, such as Corba, SOAP or XML-RPC (check out php4/pear/PEAR/Remote.php for an example implementation using XML-RPC). According to Derick, SRM can do this today, which would probably be a lot faster than both Corba and the XML-based protocols. - Stig "Yermo M.
