Markus,
Yea, that's the problem. In my application, just loading the class files
on each page adds quite a bit of overhead. (1000's of lines of code).
I've taken a look through the PHP/Zend source and it looks to me like it
would be possible to create a module built around a modified version of
php_execute_script() that:
1. loads, compiles and executes a script.
2. saves the state of the global tables Zend uses to
manage class definitions, objects, functions, variables, etc
(since there are so many globals used in Zend it doesn't look
like you can instantiate a second instance of the PHP interpreter
inside a single process, correct?)
3. exports some function calls to PHP that would allow object instances
(and their corresponding class definitions) to be imported into
the local name space.
Ideally I'd set the module up so that all these classes and instantiation
happen in the php.ini file at server start time. Now wouldn't that be
cool?
The question I have is what other hooks are there inside PHP that would
prevent this from working? Can I copy a pre-built symbol table (and class
definition table, etc) that I saved from a previous run of the PHP
interpreter (on a previous page) into a new one without having it crash?
thanks,
