registry

[korendir]

Is there anyway, using PHP, that you can access the registry to store and retrieve data?

it doesn't look like the ability to do so is included with PHP, and I wouldn't have expected it to be either. There might be an additional module you can install, but I just did a quick search and couldn't find one.

Use cookies/sessions to store information

I wouldn't be so sure of that chris. I didn't think so either but this guy seems to know what he is doing, or he thinks he does.

but if you read this I tried to get him to explain it to me and I still don't think he can do it.

I wouldn't think you could, since PHP is server-side.

And whatever that guy on Zend is talking about...I'm not understanding him.

[chrisjk]

i'm not convinced

You couldn't read a remote registry over the net; no way. That would be a mental security risk apart from anything else

Local maybe, but remote, highly unlikely. Not just by using PHP anyway

I don't need to read them remotely but locally. I want to be able to have data stored in the registry so I don't have to use the .ini file system of storing some basic data that I don't really want to put in my database.

I am just thinking allowed here but you could write a vbs script file or something like that that reads the registry and stores the key you want in a file.
