At least arrays should be supported. Probably serializing them is enough. (note: not all objects can be serialized, many internal classes don't provide the needed info, often it doesn't make sense (like PDO)) > * bool sm_set(string $name, mixed $value[, int $ttl]) > sets $name to $value > $ttl is optional and defaults to 0 (forever) > returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure. Is there a global TTL orother cleanup-technique? (I don't know shm-arena) Can you show the code?- While i think this should be fine and no problem to add to PECL.
