That's too much code for the amount of time I had, though. So I just added the purging of old records to the code that creates them. It's not ideal in that old records remain until someone opens a new session. But it's quicker and safer than writing a whole session handler. -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You would need to implement a complete session handler to add your own functionality into the GC. However, the fact that you want to do this begs the question, why are you storing what sounds like session data in application tables instead of storing them in the session? -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This session data is similar to a purchase basket. It references tuples from the static tables. If it's outside of the database, we lose the benefits of a relational DBMS. -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
