Will it ever support resource identifiers like pfsockopen() pointers?
The main problem is that when we run PHP as a Apache Module we never know in which process the next request will bind to, making impossible to have true persistent socket connections unless we can store the pointer to it or directly open the socket inode with fopen() like functions and retrieve the same resource pointer again.
I thought I could use shm, but it seems that shm doesn't allow o store resource pointers... sad... :(
shm_put_var
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
shm_put_var — Inserts or updates a variable in shared memory
설명
shm_put_var() inserts or updates the variable with the given variable_key .
Warnings (E_WARNING level) will be issued if shm_identifier is not a valid SysV shared memory index or if there was not enough shared memory remaining to complete your request.
인수
- shm_identifier
-
A shared memory resource handle as returned by shm_attach()
- variable_key
-
The variable key.
- variable
-
The variable. All variable-types are supported.
반환값
성공할 경우 TRUE를, 실패할 경우 FALSE를 반환합니다.
참고
- shm_get_var() - Returns a variable from shared memory
- shm_has_var() - Check whether a specific entry exists

shm_put_var has no protection against race conditions. If two scripts insert the same key at the same time php might segfault.

sadly troy is right
the following script will return:
resource(5) of type (stream)
int(0)
<?php
define("FOPEN_RESOURCE", 1);
define("FOPEN_FILEPATH", "/path/to/file");
$fopen_resource = fopen(FOPEN_FILEPATH, "w");
var_dump($fopen_resource);
$shm_id = shm_attach(1);
if ($shm_id === false)
{
echo "Fail to attach shared memory.\n";
}
if (!shm_put_var($shm_id, FOPEN_RESOURCE, $fopen_resource))
{
echo "Failed to put var 1 in shared memory $shm_id.\n";
}
$sm_fopen_resource = shm_get_var($shm_id, FOPEN_RESOURCE);
if ($sm_fopen_resource === false)
{
echo "Failed to retreive fopen_resource from Shared memory\r\n";
}
var_dump($sm_fopen_resource);
if($shm_id) shm_remove($shm_id);
if($fopen_resource) fclose($fopen_resource);
?>

This isn't entirely accurate. Not all variable types are supported, you can't put a resource variable into shared memory.
When you try to take it out, it will be a zero.

Use as few variable_keys as you can. With large arrays of data, rather make the array multi-dimensional and store under one variable_key than use variable_key as your index. The benefit is especially noticeable when repeated fetching from the end of the array is necessary and updates are less frequent.
