The Zend Fat MM patches have been updated to support setting an environment variable, ZEND_FATMM, to control the size of the pre-allocated memory size. The memory size setting can now also be set to 0 to effectively disable the Fat Memory Manager. I also wanted to be able to control these settings from the Apache configuration directive SetEnv in the env module. This, however, won’t work under PHP in it’s current form as SetEnv doesn’t actually set the system environment variables. To work around this I’ve also created a new directive, SetSysEnv, which enables users to control actual environment variables from within Apache configurations. This is useful for setting things like ZEND_FATMM, as well as the other environment variables in the Zend memory manager. Enjoy and drop me some feedback.

Kabuki Reserved Seats

Wednesday

I finally got to go to Kabuki theatre since they’ve remodeled specifically for the purpose of trying out their reserved seating.  The theatre looks fantastic, and the staff is great too.  They have automated ticket machines where you can reserve your seat, or you can reserve them online before you go to the theatre.  There’s a nice bar upstairs, a coffee bar, and seating to lounge around in until the appointed time of your movie arrives.

I didn’t try the bar this time, (gotta save something for next time), but I think it’s definitely worth the drive to go to a theatre like this.  There’s a sur-charge for the assigned seating in addition to standard movie prices, but I’m tired of paying high prices to wait in lines and fight for seats, aren’t you?
