Re: how much data can a session store?

It depends how you are going to store session data what you have. Assuming you have large enough H/W. If you are using 'file', you probably could store up to file size max on your OS. If you are using 'mm', relatively small amount of data will be able to stored. It's depends on how much shared memory can allocate. It's OS dependent. If you are using 'user', depends on your custom session handler and underlying storage. If you have large session data, it would slows things down even with relatively small number of active users unless you do something. (Session data is read and written whenever user access pages) Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki ""Tobias Talltorp"" <tobias@talltorp.com> wrote in message news:9as098$lup$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > Just a quick question... > > How much data can a session store? > The reason Iエm asking is that I have developed a news system and want a > "preview"-thingy and for this I want to store the data in a session.
