Don't use memcache, it's a *cache*, you want a *database*. So just use a database to store the data, and look it up for each user. eg. mysql: http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysql.php bdb: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/ext_php.html Choose your favourite key/value db here...
