Static variables across sessions

Question

In ASP.NET if I declare a variable (or object) static (or if I make a singleton) I can have it persist across multiple sessions of multiple users (it it registered in a server scope) so that I don't have to initialize it at every request.

Is there such a feature in PHP? Thanks

You can set up APC and use the apc_store and apc_fetch functions.
