Thanks for the response!
The data that gets put into the session variables are simple strings....
nothing to wierd, here is an example of what the session variables would
look like:
$sess_uid = "20";
$sess_acl = "3";
$sess_fname = "Jason";
$sess_lname = "Bell";
$sess_uname = "jbell";
$sess_auth = "1";
The only thing stored in the DB is the data...
On another note.... during my drive home, I realized something that may or
may not have an effect on this..... my server is clustered..... could this
be having some adverse effect on the sessions? Anyone have experience with
sessions on a clustered server?
