Thanks Dustin. I guess what i'm really askin is: would you recommend using memcached for session management in PHP.. the PHP extension for memcache has got a facility for manging sessions. This behaviour (using memcache for session mgmt) can be turned on in the PHP ini file.
I know/believe C is your primary language of expression but if you are at all familiar with PHP, please let me know your thoughts. Sessions are pretty non-trivial in PHP. I would presume in case of a cache miss, PHP would look to the default session store: the filesystem! Really looking for someone particularly adept with this topic to shed some much needed light on this...
