APC?

apc_store('some_array',serialize($some_array),86400);
caches $some_array in RAM for 24 hours.

$some_array = unserialize(apc_fetch('some_array'));
brings it back out.

Note - don't do this if you're dealing with massive amounts of data
unique to each session_id, though.  Come to think of it... if you're
dealing with massive amounts of data for each session_id, that might be
part of your problem. :)

Am I the only one that uses 'session.auto_start = 1'?

It saves me from worrying about that type of problem.

I've used http://phpwebhosting.com for several years, they're quite
good, and for $10/month they offer what you're looking for.  They're
stuck on php 5.12, though.

I know a guy who knows the guy behind http://dataslab.com.  That seems
like a pretty darn good deal($20/month), though I've not really
researched the VPS market.

Re: [PHP] Count the Number of Elements Using Explode

Hi Alice,

U can simple do:
$nr = ( strlen( $message ) / 2 ) + 1 );
$nr = count( explode( '|', $message );


Or...

$num = (substr_count($message, "|") + 1);
