How do I save data in an application scope in PHP?

[Anonimo]

I'm a Java and C# developer, and, I admit, I'm not that good in PHP.I need to store an object in an application scope that lives as long as the app itself is running. I can't save it in the Session, because it expires, also I can't serialize it to disk.Is there something like a C# \[code\]Application\[/code\] object in PHP?
