thanks, Devendra, that's pretty much the same as my handler. (though i can't figure Rich Smith's $sess_save_path global. do you know what is for?) but what i'm really interested in is people's experience in switching over to and using this kind of handler: pitfalls, gotchas, etc. or is it really as easy and simple as all these online articles i've read about it claim? or is that experience so hard won that people aren't keen to share it? -tom On 9/8/09 2:23 PM, "Devendra Jadhav" <devendra.in@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Storing-PHP-Sessions-in-a-Database/ > > > On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 10:53 PM, Tom Worster <fsb@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> questions for those of you with a user session handler using mysql: >> >> did you write your own handler, write one based off some other you found >> (if >> so, which?), or are you using some available library (if so, which?)? >> >> and how do you feel about your implementation? satisfied? or are there >> improvements you'd like to have? >> >> and what serializer do you use? >> >> i have my own set of handler functions (less than 70 loc) which seem to >> work >> in simple testing. but, while i'd really like to have the sessions in the >> db >> for redundancy, i haven't had the courage to deploy it yet. i derived the >> code from something i found on the web. i trust everything i read on the >> internet ;-) >> >> -tom >> >> >> >> >> -- >> PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >> >> > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
