Re: Memcache session handler

Hi All, I've been having a look at using memcache for session handling in a clustered environment in order to achieve a shared session storage method. I have the basic functionality working and the code is fairly straight forward, so would like to make it part of the PECL memcache package if at all possible. I also noticed that someone else had a shot at creating the memcache session handler, but couldn't find it they ever checked it in or not. I discussed this with the main PHP-dev list, but the general opinion was that it should be made as a package, either as part of PECL-memcache or on its own. I'd prefer to make it part of PECL memcache as the memcache library can be shared. So, a couple of questions:

    * Are people generally happy that I should add a memcache session
      handler to the memcache PECL package? If not, recommendations?

I don't see any problems with that.

    * If so, what is the process for doing this? i.e. is there a QA
      procedure that needs to be followed?

First of all, you should show us the code. Then try to include it in PECL/memcache yourself and check if it doesn't break anything (the tests are in tests/ directory). Quite possible you would want to add some more tests to test the new functionality. Then send the patch to the list. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
