Re: persistent storage in PHP

Check the Shmop's http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php Note that they do not seem to be "thread safe" as shmop_read does: memcpy(return_string, startaddr, bytes); shmop_write does: memcpy(shmop->addr + offset, data, writesize); I did not see any inter-process "mutexing" going on, but I could be wrong.
