A fully functional sample  ...



<?php

echo "<PRE>\n";



define("FOPEN_RESOURCE", 1);



$shm_id = shm_attach(FOPEN_RESOURCE);

if ($shm_id === false) {

    exit("Fail to attach shared memory.\n");

}



$fopen_resource = fopen("/tmp/phpSharedMemory.bin", "w");



$a =  array("Teste1", 1);

if (!shm_put_var($shm_id, $a, $a)) {

    exit("Failed to put var 1 in shared memory $shm_id.\n");

}



echo "F: ".$a[0].":".$a[1]."\n";

$pid = pcntl_fork();



if($pid == -1) {

  die("could not fork\n");

}

else if ($pid) {

    $a = array("Teste2", 3);

    if (!shm_put_var($shm_id, $a, $a)) {

        exit("Failed to put var 1 in shared memory $shm_id.\n");

    }

    echo "P1: ".$a[0].":".$a[1]."\n";

} else {

    sleep(2);

    $a = shm_get_var($shm_id, $a);

    echo "P2: ".$a[0].":".$a[1]."\n";

}

pcntl_wait($status);

To follow up on the posts by anonymous, Bob Van Zant and chris at free-source dot com below (or, as must people inexplicably write, above) regarding the PHP warning and FALSE that shm_get_var returns if the variable key doesn't exist:

My tests (with PHP4.3.4) show that defined() is useless here. Because the function defined(string) checks whether the constant whose name is string exists, the code 
<?php
if ( defined(@shm_get_var($mutex, $mutex_key)) {
   ...
}
?>
acts the same ("..." does not get executed) whether the variable is defined or not--unless $mutex_key happens to identify a valid string that happens to be the name of a constant. :)

Rather,
<?php
if ( @shm_get_var($mutex, $mutex_key) === FALSE ) {
   ...
}
?>
works, provided the object that was stored isn't actually FALSE (via <?php shm_put_var($mutex, $mutex_key, FALSE); ?>)

It would be nice to have a completely air-tight solution, though.  D'oh!

hello everyone i came up with some sort of solution to the shm_get_var() 
returns false on error/returns a boolean false variable problem.

test script

<?php
    
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', '1');
    
    echo '<pre>';
    echo ini_get('sysvshm.init_mem');
    
    require_once('ClassShmWrapper.php5');
    
    $nKey = ftok(__FILE__,'x');
    
    $myShm = new ClassShmWrapper($nKey);
    
    $myShm->attachToSegment();
    
    #$mValue = range(1,rand(3,10));
    #$myShm->nVarKey = count($mrValue);
    
    #$mValue = FALSE;
    
    /*
    $mValue = TRUE;
    $myShm->nVarKey = 1;
    $myShm->mVar = $mValue;
    $myShm->putVarToSegment();
    */
    
    #$myShm->nVarKey = 2;
    $myShm->nVarKey = 1;
    
    if ($myShm->getVarFromSegment()) {
        echo "found var in shm\n";
    }
    else {
        echo "could NOT find var in shm\n";
    }
    
    $myShm->detachFromSegment();
    
    echo "\ndumping " . '$myShm->mVar' . "\n";
    var_dump($myShm->mVar);
    
?>

You will still receive a notice use @:

if(!defined(@shm_get_var($mutex, $mutex_key))) {
       shm_put_var($mutex, $mutex_key, 0);
}

This seems to work fine to detect the lack of presence of a key in shared memory and then init it to 0 when found:

if(!defined(shm_get_var($mutex, $mutex_key))) {
        shm_put_var($mutex, $mutex_key, 0);
}

If any body has problem with shm_get_var();

this code correctly work with boolean-values^
<?php
if(shm_has_var ($this->shm_mem_id, $_varno)){
            $_value = shm_get_var($this->shm_mem_id, $_varno);
        }else{
            $_value = NULL;
        }
?>
