No, but PHP could provide a standardized frontend in the form of a
super-global that can have modular backends (like we have with
ext/session). One backend could then use memcached as its data store.
Funny, I've been thinking of just the same thing.... The PHP5 OOP hooks are
just begging for that sort of implementation.
$foo = $_APPLICTION['bar'];
php_application_object::read_dimension(zval *element) {
zval *baz = fetch_from_storage_mechanism(element);
return baz;
}
Things like references could never be supported of course. And the
userspace code would have to be intelligent enough to handle its own race
conditions. (The SHM backend would cover mutexes of course, but that still
doesn't solve the simpler problem of different requests handling different
bundles of data)
Is anyone working on something like this already?
