shm_attach
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
shm_attach — Creates or open a shared memory segment
Description
$key
[, int $memsize
[, int $perm = 0666
]] ) : resource
shm_attach() returns an id that can be used to access
the System V shared memory with the given key, the
first call creates the shared memory segment with
memsize and the optional perm-bits
perm.
A second call to shm_attach() for the same
key will return a different shared memory
identifier, but both identifiers access the same underlying
shared memory. memsize and
perm will be ignored.
Parameters
-
key -
A numeric shared memory segment ID
-
memsize -
The memory size. If not provided, default to the sysvshm.init_mem in the php.ini, otherwise 10000 bytes.
-
perm -
The optional permission bits. Default to 0666.
Notes
Note:
This function used to return an integer value prior to PHP 5.3.0. To achieve the same value in a portable manner, the return value can be cast to an integer like:
<?php
// Create a temporary file and return its path
$tmp = tempnam('/tmp', 'PHP');
// Get the file token key
$key = ftok($tmp, 'a');
// Attach the SHM resource, notice the cast afterwards
$id = shm_attach($key);
if ($id === false) {
die('Unable to create the shared memory segment');
}
// Cast to integer, since prior to PHP 5.3.0 the resource id
// is returned which can be exposed when casting a resource
// to an integer
$id = (integer) $id;
?>
