short-term data storage
|

| Hi,
In order to implement a data-reservation-system, I need to save data on a
server via php only for a short time but with a high frequency. The saved
data has to be readable only for the next 10-20 seconds. Is it possible to
write this data to the server's RAM? If this is impossible, I'd like to know
whether storing the data in a MySQL-Database or creating a file is more
effective.
Thanks in advance,
Simon Remppis

That'll be Sessions, then.

I KNOW PHP runs on lots of different platforms, but PLEASE people, tell us
what platform you are running on. Particularly for stuff like this it makes
a huge difference.
IF you are on Linux/Unix, then it doesn't make a lot of difference its
likely to be cached regardless - the question should be what is the easiest
API for you to cope with.

Well, the problem is that I'm not developing the System for one single
computer but I'm trying to make it compatible to all systems on which
an apache-server can be installed. Of course this could make it
necessary to implement different solutions for different enviroments.
So I'd also appreciate any solutions that works just for one particular
system :)
Thanks,
Simon
