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');
what's the point of having an application id?

To prevent PHPBB from accidentally overwriting Phorum when both of them try to update $_GLOBAL_SESSION['counter']. Basically to enforce application level scoping...which is part of the reason I think $_APPLICATION is a better name. Marc
