That's right.

I would like to get rid of serialize()/unserialize() also. Since, I have large web site that has relatively large menu definition as array.

What sort of variables can you store if you don't use serialize()/unserialize()? Would your extension be able to store objects? If it would then I think the inclusion of $_PERSISTENT would make our lives much easier. Especially since there would be no daemons to setup, etc. Edin

[It seems I've reply only to Edin] I need to store large static array as lookup table (read only). I think there are many applications that has relatively large static array for application configuration, etc. $_PERSISTENT is problematic, since user may store unsutable data for it. I'll create functions to register/unregister so that user can only store array that does not have any reference nor objects. It's still useful for my usage, at least. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
