PHP is a programming language designed to be embedded into web pages.

Shmop is an easy to use set of functions that allows PHP to read,
|
||
|
|
write, create and delete Unix SysV-style shared memory segments.

While developing a search deamon we needed a php based front end
|
||
|
|
to communicate the deamon via SHM. 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 :)).
