Shmop does just that, it takes a string of data (any data) and puts it
in memory. Serialization is something sysvshm extension does.

shmop is the solution if you want to store only strings but once you want
to store arrays or objects then the ser/deser is needed.

It's true. I know shmop, but the ideal would be to be able to store
large persistent variables in memory without serialization operations
(without deserialization with each reading).
Thanks for these informations.

If you just want memory access PHP already offers shmop extension for
raw data storage and manipulation as well as sysvshm for storing
serialized variables.

But the approach is very interesting. The french java developpers and a
lot of others need these shared memory functions. I think that a
displacement in PHP (memory_fetch, memory_store), even with small locks
about which Rasmus speaks would be very appreciated ;).
