After reviewing the thread, I think the problem you are experiencing is related to the fact that each instance of PHP is running a seperate JVM. It's not that the JVM is being destroyed. Therefore when you have apache running with say 5 httpd children, you will be running 5 seperate JVM's each with it's own environment. So if you tried to keep a Java variable active from request to request, it would disappear once your apache KeepAliveTimeout was up. Does that sound about right? -Tony -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
