Also just to throw this out, you can also use the

Living to learn every single day. Although I find this feature very
useful
(storing session data in a database for e.g. mysql) I didn't find any
good
example in the manual or anywhere near using it.
Can anyone enlighten me on this ?

Yeah, I found this method great when I had to get sessions away from the
file system. It let's you keep using $_SESSION while not losing sessions
everytime the load balancer redirects someone.
Check out Stut's link, its perfect.
Thanks guys but do you think I could find this in a non object-oriented
manner ? I have already seen this link in a previous posting and it is
really very good.

Well, instead of a class, just make functions. Make them according to what
you set in the session handler.
session_set_save_handler("open", "close", "read", "write", "destroy", "gc");
Example: "open" maps to "function open() { ... }".
Make sense?
Thanks I have already started working on that. I suppose that I should
run the garbage collector every now and then to see if the session has
expired. I guess this is the basic difference between the normal
sessions and database oriented. The fact that you need to create a way
to check the sessions that are expiring.
