Re: persistent zval

Hi! > Connection pooling could be a good usage of this if we manage to get > this working again. Connection pooling is persisting external resources, usually, which can be done with little regard to zvals, since zval for resource is just a container holding an opaque pointer. A number of extensions do persistent connections without really persisting zvals. However, in many cases PHP is multiprocess, so pooling becomes kind of problematic here - it may be hard or impossible to share connections between processes, and if you have a lot of processes, keeping connection per process can become expensive. That is to say, connection pooling is a different can of worms :) -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
