If apc comes bundled then it includes apc_store() and apc_fetch() this is pretty much $_MEMORY with a few tweaks.
Yes, but that is restricted to one server installations. I need such a 'global session' that is available with multiple front-end servers..ie. using DB as session storage.
I am confused. What are you proposing here? That we write a multi-server memory-based datastore? That's a project in itself and quite beyond the scope of PHP. It would seem to me like a replicated database setup with decent query caching solves this problem nicely. -Rasmus
How about an implementation with multiple possible backends ala session.save_handler? It could use "files" or "apc" by default, or optionally use something like "mm", "msession" or "mysql" depending on the user's needs. Marc
