I have a couple extensions that maybe useful for PHP users who use PostgreSQL. I have a serializer for PHP that serializes session data to a documented XML format. That extension is called XMLDBX. I also have a PostgreSQL extension that will read this XML data and allow you to query it. select xmldbx('data.myclass.userid', mytable.session) $myclass['userid'] or $myclass->userid will be returned if it was serialized. more info at: http://www.mohawksoft.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
