I am wondering what other simple-to-use caching mechanisms exist for PHP, except APC cache, that work fine with php running as CGI.

Configure Command
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php5/cgi' '--with-curl=/usr/local/lib' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-kerberos' '--with-openssl' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr/local' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-pear' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-zip' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-iconv=/usr/local' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-mbstring'

Server API CGI/FastCGI

What I am looking for is a simple memory caching system, that allows me to store variables, set TTL, and then retrieve them from memory. I am NOT looking for opcode cache.

NOTE: I cannot switch to PHP CLI or other SAPI. I’ve also tried installing APC on this environment and it works just per request (can not be accessed on refresh).
