Hi there. I understand what you're trying to do, but sessions are not the way to do this. What you really need is a caching system like memcached. Sessions can't be shared across different applications *unless* you create your own custom session handler. Personally, I've used memcached for the type of thing you're talking about it and it worked out really well. Check out www.dango.com/memcached for more info. There is an extension you can compile for memcached, and I believe there are a few memcached clients written in PHP. -- Chris Hartjes "The greatest inefficiencies come from solving problems you will never have." -- Rasmus Lerdorf @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
