Hi experts!

Is there any way to get application-level variables?

This is mostly done using a DBMS, but that implies a lot requirements (a DB
engine, a table, etc)

How do you share simple pair keys/values over an application?

* session_id + session_name ?
* serialize over a raw file

Cheers,

 Martin Scotta

Martin, this is a mailing list for the development of PHP itself. It is
not about userspace questions like this. Check out the php-general list
for that where this question has been asked and answered numerous times.
