i am using my laptop with PHP 4+ and mysql 5+, everything start to be weird after i implement my costume sessions (storing in database). i only use one database connection for the whole website. what i mean is, the session and every query connect to mysqlserver using the same user. I am not sure if it is because of the sessions. but it happen after i use costume sessions. if i make a SQL query with non existant column name eg: noe SELECT * FROM test WHERE noe=1; Suddenly, if i use top to monitor process on my laptop i saw the processor usage for the mysqld and firefox-bin(iceweasel) increasing. Icewasel will continue to consume processor usage to 100% and memory up to 80% all the time. Worst still, the mouse, keyboard do not work anymore. My laptop very-very slow until i cannot move my mouse cursor at all.. there is no way i can go except turn off the laptop power. I don't know what the problem is this. but, i think there is something to do with the sessions. And it related to PHP or may be problem with Iceweasel. I will try to ask debian mailing list for this. In case anyone experience the same thing. please let me know how you fix it.
