Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-26 19:30:18] davey@php.net I have just spent about 2hrs looking for how to generate a key for the first argument in shmop_open(). I ended up visiting #C on freenode to ask them as the notes on shmop_open() mentions the API is based on C's shm API, they gave me the C answer and quick search for ftok meant I had found what I needed. Could you add a 'See Also: ftok()' to the shmop_open() page and also perhaps to ref.shmop.php Aswell as ftok saying its a 'long' int and any number within that range is fine (for people who don't want to use ftok/use PHP < 4.2.0) Full docs on ftok would be nice also, sure they can't be long! - Davey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23822&edit=1
