Re: Can PEAR stay in memory ?

My tech director who had no clue of web technologies asked the same question a while back. I think its possible to store values in a servers memory with a PEAR class. Problem with storing specific data in memory is it prevents your web app from scaling across multiple servers. if you just want to store the class definitions in memory - hmm, not sure about that! A good option would be to create a virtual ram disk (if under Linux) and copy your pear classes to this virtual RAM disk. Then add the new ram disk to your PHP include path. Should load a lot quicker now :) Regards, Mike C -- http://www.buddasworld.co.uk ---------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.ukonline.net
