true, only strings/ints.  however, you can serialize your structures/arrays
with WDDX and store the packets as client vars to do an end run around that.

we recently converted our entire product to client vars since we needed to
move into a clustered servers.

But only limitation that I know of is the type and size of the data you are
storing.

I beleive you can not do any type of structures or arrays as client
varibles.  Only strings or Int.

Nope, single server ...  it is a distributed app that is currently using
Session variables ... and most people who use it are on shared servers and
such ... I just really like the client variables for a shopping cart so the
cart can hang around .. the session variables timeout ... but I just am
curious as to why some would use one over the other in a basic setup.
