Yaconf is a PHP extension providing a persistent configuration container that parses INI files once at startup and serves them from immutable, copy-on-write memory for the entire PHP lifecycle. It eliminates per-request config parsing overhead in PHP-FPM deployments.

Use cases

• load php ini config files once at startup instead of every request
• share configuration memory across php-fpm workers
• fast config lookup without file i/o per request
• manage application configuration in a php extension
• reload config files automatically without restarting php

When to choose

• you run php-fpm and re-parse ini or php config files on every request
• you need zero-cost config reads with hash lookups from persistent memory
• you want config shared across forked workers via copy-on-write memory

When to avoid

• you need automatic config reloading on ZTS thread-safe php builds
• you need dynamic or runtime-writable configuration storage
• you cannot install php c extensions
