Locmem won't work because it isn't thread-aware. Each thread would have its own cache, and so you'd get cache-misses, AKA Mysteriously Missing Information, if you saved the CC# to memory on one thread and tried to read it with another. I'm not sure what to suggest to use as a cache if you can't use memcached. Every other option would involve writing to disk in some way. It is encrypted, so you could just use filecache, and then have some cron job which clears out files older than CACHE_TIMEOUT seconds (Or maybe filecache does that on its own, I don't know). I'm not sure how acceptable that is to PCI standards. Sounds like a bad server to run a store on, to be honest. -- Bruce Kroeze http://www.ecomsmith.com It's time to hammer your site into shape. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
