Sounds like a job for srm... http://www.vl-srm.net/
Obviously other options include SOAP servers.. etc. or just using shm and storing a serialized object in there. or use a ramdisk..... Something like this is difficult since php normally is not run threaded (eg. apache/cgi...) at the moment, so there is no 'central memory store' that could be used easily with it. - Apache 2 with thread support (when it is ready?) may help.. I'm sure theres a few other ways.....
