Thats what I'm looking at doing actually... I would really love to have shared mem in Windows... cause thats what I develop with :( But yah... looking at the 3 pronged approach, falling back to slower and slower implementations. Should make things fast in a good environment at least :) Thanks. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: James Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: June 23, 2001 3:04 AM To: 'Brian Tanner'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] Internal Working -- performance question > a) Is there a faster way to send data between 2 processes, > that will work with PHP, and is supported by Windows and *nix. How about abstacting it, under Linux use shared mem (should be fastest) if its avalible, other wise use sockets then If that's not avalible use database/file version. - James -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
