Re: Sessions running out of storage space - Increase memory?

After thinking about this a while I also thought of making my own cache. The problem with that is would it be any faster or have any less strain on the server than having multiple requests/connections to the database? - Dan "Per Jessen" <per@computer.org> wrote in message news:fe11ig$k5t$1@saturn.local.net...

I need to retrieve a huge amount of data form a database and do so many times. To eliminate the overhead of connecting to the database and pulling down all that info over and over, I'm trying to pull it down only once and stick it into a session. The problem is I get the first few results and everything works fine. But then after those first 5 or so I only get 0's. My first thought is that this is because of a limit on memory that sessions can take up or file size/space where the sessions are stored. I looked in the PHP.INI and I didn't find anything though. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or a more elegant solution to my huge data needs?

IF there is a problem in using session storage, you could just use your own file cache instead. Or you could the database query cache, depending on how much data you're talking about. /Per Jessen, Zürich
