Description

public function SyncSharedMemory::write(string $string = ?, int $start = 0)

Copies data to named shared memory.

Parameters

string

The data to write to shared memory.

Note:

If the size of the data exceeds the size of the shared memory, the number of bytes written returned will be less than the length of the input.

start

The start/offset, in bytes, to begin writing.

Examples

Example #1 SyncSharedMemory::write() example

<?php
// You will probably need to protect shared memory with other synchronization objects.
// Shared memory goes away when the last reference to it disappears.
$mem = new SyncSharedMemory("AppReportName", 1024);
if ($mem->first())
{
    // Do first time initialization work here.
}

$result = $mem->write("report.txt");
var_dump($result);

$result = $mem->write("report.txt", -3);
var_dump($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

int(10)
int(3)
