ID: 61277 Updated by: ras...@php.net Reported by: thbley at gmail dot com Summary: Feature request: Shared Keyword Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: All PHP Version: 5.5.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: APC will eventually go in, but it is not going to be directly mapped to any sort of special shared keywords. Like I said, there are plenty of ways to map this in userspace via the various magic methods. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-05 05:44:17] thbley at gmail dot com I think it shouldn't be a big issue to get a small portion of the apc or memcache code in the core and make it stable. In the end of 2005, there was the decision to include apc in the core. So I think it is not a bad idea to look at this again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-05 03:55:12] ras...@php.net And APC is still not stable and portable enough to include in PHP, so saying to do it like APC doesn't mean much. Doing it like APC means not putting it not the core. And if you want something just like APC, just use APC. Most of the frameworks already do and they include a slower fallback for servers without APC. This is not going to be baked into the object syntax directly since we have all the magic methods you need to hook it in yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-05 02:26:09] thbley at gmail dot com > It is a design decision in PHP not to have such global things in PHP itself. All PHP frameworks are offering some kind of caching with shared disk or shared memory. And I haven't seen a bigger project not using this stuff. It's time to rethink this decision. > - correct locking can be hard I think the way APC does this it, should do it. > - such a feature makes scaling over multiple servers hard It would be enough to have it on one server. For those who want more, can still send the data to memcache. Here is a new example: https://gist.github.com/1975954 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-05 00:19:10] johan...@php.net It is a design decision in PHP not to have such global things in PHP itself. Addon modules (you mentioned apc) can add utilities for this, though. Some reasons include: - PHP can be embedded in any application which might add constrains - correct locking can be hard - such a feature makes scaling over multiple servers hard - it messes with copy-on-write - ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-04 20:29:34] thbley at gmail dot com update version :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
