Would mind that patch anyways, sounds good, just doesn't fulfill my needs/desires for $_APP(LICATION)Davey wrote:As far as I understand you just want to have another superglobal variable, don't you? If so I have small patch witch allow to configure in php.ini names for additional superglobals. Regards, WojtekMMCache can be used as a session handler, but this still has the pitfalls of the other solutions. If you were to implement $_APP(LICATION) as suggested, then it could indeed (in theory) use MMCache, just as $_SESSION does - Davey
