Ouch. I never thought of that . . . Dont' site like hotmail and amazon use session ID over non-encrypted links though? Using SSL for my entiresite would sure make it slow . . .

Re: [PHP] MySQL vs Session?
Sure it can. If the machine name is different make sure you set your session.cookie_domain to something like .domain.com but other than that there shouldn't be anything to it. As long as you propogate the session id somehow to the script, when session_start() is called in that script it will pick up the session data. Do watch out for all the security issues involved in sending session ids over a non-encrypted link though. -Rasmus On Thu, 15 Aug 2002, Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: > I'm interested in finding out the answer to this since it seems that I > will need to implement my own session handler. > > I need to pass session information from SSL connections to non-SSL > connections (albeit on the same server) and PHP doesn't seem to be able > to do this ... > > Jc > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] MySQL vs Session?
I'm interested in finding out the answer to this since it seems that I will need to implement my own session handler. I need to pass session information from SSL connections to non-SSL connections (albeit on the same server) and PHP doesn't seem to be able to do this ...

Re: [PHP] MySQL vs Session?
I'd have to say that I haven't done any controlled tests, but mysql can be very slow when you are doing a lot of connections (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it executes requests in order?). To be untechnical about it and only speak from experience (if I was a typical internet user, I'd think that because it does it for me, it must do it for everyone! :) ), I personally have never found sessions to be slow getting a lot of data, where as I have found it slow with mysql... probably also depends greatly on your server load. I'd imagine that you would see a massive difference on a server that is under load.

[PHP] MySQL vs Session?
Which is generally faster/better, doing a SELECT or doing session_start()? Rephrased, are sessions significantly faster/lighter than using MySQL? I'd imagine they are, since they won't need to do a connection or anything, but I am not familiar with how sessions scale. -- Tino Didriksen / Project JJ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
