Or sessions. Along with serialize() and deserialize(), all are your friends in this
case. He's talking about the same set of data being available to all instances of PHP, though. I think they're called Application Variables. So if I set $instance=1 as an application variable, any other PHP script that runs can read that value. I imagine the same thing could be done with an object. Either that or I'm way off base. It does sound useful, but I see how it could be overused and abused. ---John Holmes...
Then you could use a serialized file in the filesystem that any app can read. For added speed, make a RAM-disk and store the file there. Slight overhead deserializing, but it's likely faster than recreating whatever it is (if it's large). -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
