===== Introduction ===== | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
+ | ADOdb session management extends the standard functionality of PHP sessions, by allowing the normal session data seen to be stored in a database itself. There are numerous ways that this method enhances the default behavior | ||
- | ==== Why Session | + | * Simplified clean-up at end of session life |
+ | * Easy analysis of session data | ||
+ | * Simple session termination | ||
+ | * **//Session | ||
+ | * Encryption of session data | ||
+ | * Allows implementation of session termination callbacks | ||
+ | * Session data can be retained if used across with load balancing servers | ||
- | We store state information specific to a user or web client in session | + | ADOdb session |
- | To use session variables, call session_start() at the beginning of your web page, before your HTTP headers are sent. Then for every variable you want to keep alive for the duration of the session, call variable you want to keep alive for the duration of the session, use '' | ||
- | |||
- | The default method of storing sessions is to store it in a file. However if you have special needs such as you: | ||
- | |||
- | * Have multiple web servers that need to share session info | ||
- | * Need to do special processing of each session | ||
- | * Require notification when a session expires | ||
- | |||
- | The ADOdb session handler provides you with the above additional capabilities by storing the session information as records in a database table that can be shared across multiple servers. | ||
These records will be garbage collected based on the php.ini [session] timeout settings. You can register a notification function to notify you when the record has expired and is about to be freed by the garbage collector. | These records will be garbage collected based on the php.ini [session] timeout settings.

- | ===== The Improved Session Handler ===== | ||
- | In ADOdb 4.91, we added a new session handler, in adodb-session2.php. It features the following improvements: | + | ===== Driver Support ===== |
+ | The following drivers are known to work with the adodb-session2.php | ||
+ | - mysqli | ||
+ | - pdo_mysqli (From ADOdb version 5.21) | ||
+ | - postgres | ||
+ | - oci8 | ||
- | * Fully supports server farms using a new database | + | This is not an exhaustive list, if you are using the system with a different |
- | * The new version uses the database server time instead for all timestamps. | + | |
- | * The older database table format is obsolete. The database table must be modified | + | |
- | * Also the field named DATA has been changed to SESSDATA. In some databases, DATA is a reserved word. | + | |
