Shmop is an easy to use set of functions that allows php to read,
write, create and delete UNIX shared memory segments. The functions
will not work on windows, as it does not support shared memory. To
use shmop you will need to compile php with the --enable-shmop parameter
in your configure line.

<para>
<function>shm_open</function> can create or open a shared memory block.
</para>
<para>
<function>shm_open</function> takes 4 parameters: key, which is the
system's id for the shared memory block, this parameter can be passed
as a decimal or hex. The second parameter are the flags that you can use:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"a" for access (sets IPC_EXCL)
use this flag when you need to open an existing shared memory segment
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"c" for create (sets IPC_CREATE)
use this flag when you need to create a new shared memory segment.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
The third parameter is the mode, which are the permissions that you
wish to assign to your memory segment, those are the same as permission
for a file. Permissions need to be passed in octal form ex. 0644.
The last parameter is size of the shared memory block you wish to create
in bytes.
<note><simpara>
Note: the 3rd and 4th should be entered as 0 if you are opening an
existing memory segment. On success <function>shm_open</function> will
return an id that you can use to access the shared memory segment
you've created.
