Hey everyone, Long time reader, not such a long time poster :-P (though I have posted to the list occasionally in the past...) Anyway, I have a general question for the list. Basically, I need to maintain persistent objects between page refreshes. So, for example, if while running a PHP script the first time I create an instance of class foo, the next time the script is run (when the browser reloads the page) I can again access that same instance of foo. I know that there's no way to truly do that, since a script only runs while generating output for the browser, but my question is, in the group's opinion, what's the best way to mimic this sort of behavior using temporary storage? Should I be using temporary files? I can think of at least a couple ways to do it, but I'd like to get some opinions as to "best practice" techniques, which take both security and relative efficiency into account. I would want to make sure that data isn't shared between multiple concurrent sessions, which would be a bad thing for what I'm doing. my oh-so-limited knowledge of PHP is shining through, I think :) Thanks so much!
