Persistent global variable?

[howachen]

Hi,

Are there something like a `Persistent global variable` in PHP?

It is something like `Application` in the classic ASP, all the request
share the same variable, and the die after a timeout.

Sessions.
http://php.net/manual/features.sessions.php

Be aware that sessions are not cross-user though. Each user has their
own set of independent persistent variables.

Pass the same session id to session_id() after you start the session should
give you the same session for all users. A bit hacky though. If it even works.
Can't see why it wouldn't though.

Of course, that then presents the users from having any "personal"
variables at all...
