I'm using mod_perl and Apache::Session on an app that is similar to MyYahoo. I found a few bits of info from a previous thread, but I'm curious as to what type of information should go in the session and what should come from the database.
Currently I'm putting very little in the session, but what I am putting in the session is more "global" in nature...greeting, current page number, current page name...data that doesn't change very often. I'm pulling a lot of info from the database and I wonder if my design is sound. Most of the info being pulled from the database is features for the page. Now I need to add global "modules" to the page which will show user info like which pages they have created and which features are being emailed to the user. These modules will display on every page unless the user turns them off. It seems that since this info wouldn't change very often that I should put the data in the session... Anyone have any general tips on session design? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com
