Re: Global storage of objects.

Sorry but this feature is not available in PHP. Script data can be serialized and written do disk. Simple types (ints, arrays, floats) can reside in memory and every script can use them but this is available only under *nixes. This feature uses SysV semaphores and SysV shared memory. Read the docs about using this. The problem occurs with OO scripts because in the memory serialized object will be stored and on every page request the object structure will be rebuild. There was a discussion few days before on this list or on php-dev - I can't remember. A link that you should visit is http://www.vl-srm.net/index.php Regards, Andrey Hristov P.S. http://oasis.sourceforge.net uses SysV semaphores and shared memory, so you can look how they are used in real life application ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Bergstrand" <stefan.bergstrand@polopoly.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Global storage of objects. > > Your suggestion is as far as I got on my own... ;-=) > > What I want is to keep the object in memory, and not have to read data > from disk the next time I need the object. > > I cant use cookies, since the object should be avaliable to more than > one user.
