In CLI, you won't be able to use persistent data between two launches of your PHP script. The "persistent" flag will tell the Zend memory manager to not free the resource at the end of a request. But when your script is done, it's not only the "request" that is terminated but the whole PHP process and it's associated memory. Maybe running your PHP script as a deamon is an alternative to handle different "requests"? That way you shouldn't write an extension just for the purpose of not recreating an array on every requests. > This is my first experience with a PHP extension. > Does someone have good paper about writing PECL ? > I have read this > > one http://devzone.zend.com/303/extension-writing-part-i-introduction-to-php-and-zend/ This isn't a paper, but a project that I created for the purpose of helping people learning how to create a PECL extension: https://github.com/patrickallaert/PHP_Extension_Workshop You might be interested by clicking on one of the "compare" buttons at: https://github.com/patrickallaert/PHP_Extension_Workshop/branches Every branches correspond to a specific addition to an empty extension. Creating an array isn't specifically mentioned, but again, I'm not sure writing a PECL extension is the best/easiest way to go for you. > If someone can share code about persistent array manipulation into a PECL, i > will be very happy ;) > > Thanks, > William MARTIN > > [1] http://www.photon-project.com/ > [2] http://www.mongrel2.org/ > > -- > PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
