Huh? Maybe you are confusing this thread with another one where you and 
I are talking about (at this very moment) browser caching? (HTTP header 
no-cache)

This thread is about the PHP engine caching include files in memory 
instead of reading them off the disk every time a PHP script is invoked 
that contains an include() or require().

Hacking 'til it hurts :)

Don't get too carried away here. It sounds like you are confusing two 
entirely different things. Your earlier questions were related to 
caching on the client, not on the server. Yes, PHP does have some 
control over what the client caches through HTTP, but this is unrelated 
to caching of PHP itself.

Actually after asking the dev list I found that it *is* PHP "can" have 
some control over.

That's one of the things the Zend engine, for example, does in order to 
speed up PHP script processing.

But the base PHP engine does not do this. So I have to really on the OS 
as you pointed. But supposedly there is some PHP hooks I can use to 
create my own plugin that could keep static data ...

Whether a document is kept in memory cache or not is not something that 
php has any control over, I think; your operating system is generally what 
looks after that.
