Re: Statics and PHP5

Hi all, My initial response to Jonathan has me thinking more about this, and a higher level. I guess I want to hear from the Zend guys about their intentions of PHP as an app server. IMHO, that's the right direction. For example, when PHP is loaded by the web server, it's only loaded once, and it should keep track of all the classes that get loaded, and only load them once (unless the file changes, say). Static variables should apply to the server scope (classloader). The way it stands right now, if all the classes are essential unloaded after each request, then we're still really close to the CGI paradigm. If I have 10,000 users who each use 10 pages per session, why do I need to load the "Foo" class 100,000 times? Zend guys, what are your thoughts? Was this concept considered and rejected? Your thought process and direction are important to my technology choice. Thanks, Dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
