Since the data only changes when you write it, at the end of the script, you could maybe get away with the transaction only being in the session_save handler, and be sure to rollback or commit your business logic before that. That would for sure take a lot of discipline, and might even be downright impossible for what you need, but it's worth pondering. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
