It's true. I know shmop, but the ideal would be to be able to store large persistent variables in memory without serialization operations (without deserialization with each reading). Thanks for these informations. Guillaume Ilia Alshanetsky wrote:

If you just want memory access PHP already offers shmop extension for raw data storage and manipulation as well as sysvshm for storing serialized variables. Ilia Guillaume Ponçon wrote:

I know about APC, but IMHO I can't use it. On webservers are Zend Optimizer or mmcache (eAccelerator now) used.
     
But the approach is very interesting. The french java developpers and a lot of others need these shared memory functions. I think that a displacement in PHP (memory_fetch, memory_store), even with small locks about which Rasmus speaks would be very appreciated ;).
