AW: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NEVER use long varchar2 for < 4k or clob for longer does long still exist in oracle9 ???? i thought it is supposed to be left out ( as soon as possible ) to your question at first : why don't you try to overwrite the php session handling funktions? serialisation is done by them and you need just to save in db look here : http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/ying20000602.php3 i always wanted to do that, but newer did... if you make it code snipplets are welcome :-] sebastian > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: infoz [mailto:infoz@earthlink.net] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 26.
