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.
ext/session has the framework for doing this. I concur with your original idea of augmenting it to provide those services. Perhaps a new autoglobal $_GLOBAL_SESSION[]. Thoughts?

<?php

    <the usual pre-session_start() things here..>

    session_set_application_id('someid');
    session_start();

$_SESSION['foobar'] = 'foo'; $_GLOBAL['someid'] = 'bar'; etc. ?>

    Thanks to Marc for mentioning the application id. :)

    It should propably behave so that if the application id
    is not set, then we won't init the $_GLOBAL at all.
