Hi guys, thanks for your help, I was able to get a Z2 build up and running. Unfortunately it didn't appear to be quite stable enough for what I'm doing yet, but at least it is cmoing along nicely!
One question while I'm here: I'm interested in persistant global objects, like ASP's Application objects. I am sure this has been talked out on the list before, but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Is this possible? Yesterday I wrote my first PHP test extension (Yay! I'm so happy - until now I've been terrified of it!) I was able to register a class in the zend engine (after to looking at the PECL stuff), but I was wondering whether I could register a live, running object somewhere so that all scripts could access it across requests? Would this maybe even require access to an external engine written in C? At the moment I have a static Application object in PHP that just writes serialized objects to disk. This is not quite the same as having the object staying in ram though. I have implemented a Factory class that creates data objects and caches them to prevent database hits, and this speeds the process up by about 400%. But there will be thousands and thousands of these objects, and I would love to store them in RAM. I know this sort of thing should really be written in Java, but I decided to stick with PHP for this project so there is no going back! Any comments, corrections, put-back-in-boxes, or thoughts on how to do this will be ecstatically (get it? static? never mind) received.
