PHP cross session variable

Question

in order to prevent server from accessing intensively my database or filesystem, I need a memory variable, which will be accessible by all scripts regardless of session on my server. I assumed putenv/setenv (or $_ENV) can be used, but it’s not working for on my server when I do putenv in one script and I echo it in another one. Am I doing anything wrong? I found SHMOP functions as well, but they don’t work on Windows – is there anything like this, which works under both Windows and Unix/Linux? Any hint is welcome.

You could use APC to store the information locally in memory on the server, or a distributed cache like Memcache.

How about...

Create a RAMDisk
write a file into the RAMDisk.
