[help] Extending php

[lanman92]

Anyone know of a extension for php that will allow me to do interprocess communication with other server programs? I looked at shared memory, but it seems to be for Unix/Linux. I didn't see any relevant extensions on PECL either. At the least, a way to call the win32 API would suffice.

you can use shm also on linux

$shmId = shm_attach ( 515, 1024); if (!shmID) die ("duh");

got also a german whitepaper for you. besides the german you should at least understand the code:

Is there any way to make shared memory work on windows? I'm pretty sure that it doesn't function the same way as CreateFileMapping() does on windows. I thought about writing an extension, but it seems to be too much of a hassle...

none that i know. you could use ipc for asp.net and use the .NET for php extension to implement it in your opcode. sounds dirty ^^
