msession 1.0 is out of beta and released.

Do you have any idea how long will it take? If it's short, I can wait rather than writing one by myself :)

That depends on how many people test it :-) I hope to be done with it by May first. It has turned into a lot of work, several people are making some very good suggestions, but, alas I only have so much time. The native Windows version sucks, it works, but it doesn't have anywhere near the performacne of the Linux or FreeBSD version. I have to get out SoftICE to see if it is "Windows" or something that I am doing wrong. I suspect Windows, but before release, I have to make sure that it works correctly, and that will affect the full feature set I would like to have. If anyone wants to write a serialization plugin for MySQl and ODBC that would be great. (Use the PostgreSQL plugin for an example) If anyone wants to write a master/slave plugin, that would be great too. :-)

It sounds like a lot of work is expected for msession. So, I'll write a simple one. [RFC for New Module] Module name: psv (Persistent Server Variable) Feature: Maintain auto global $_PERSISTENT array that persists on single server. Function: none. Implementtion: Shared memory (libmm) for multi-process server. Multi-thread server uses global with lock/unlock. Usage: <?php if (!isset($_PERSISTENT['VAR'])) { include('register_very_large_array.inc'); } ?> If you have any comments, especially if you have good names, please let me know. I probably write this module on this or next weekend. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
