Hi, You will have to store the data somewhere that both php processes can read. You are currently using a database but you could also use: The File System Shared Memory Functions [http://php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php] Memcache [http://php.net/manual/en/book.memcache.php] I'm sure there are other ways as well but it depends on how portable you want the system to be.
