PHP already had a shared memory +extention (sysvshm) written by Christian Cartus <cartus@atrior.de>, +unfortunatly this extention was designed with PHP only in mind and +offers high level features which are extremly bothersome for basic +SHM we had in mind. After spending a day trying to reverse engineer +and figure out the format of sysvshm we decided that it would be +much easier to add our own extention to php for simple SHM operations, +we were right :)). |
