faster session management

[monexx]

Hi All

As i red all over, using sessions with PHP is slow because it uses files on the HD.

What are the solutions to this?

I know there is Mohawksoft Msession, but much simplier than that, does someone ever tried copying session information to a ramdrive?

Thank you

anything that uses sessions as is will store files on the HD, no matter what the language

time is pretty minimal though.

you could look into using DB to store sessions of your own making...

Yes, using sessions will always be slow whether you are using the HD or DB.

If you are willing to give it a shot, try JSP (or ASP on windows...). JSP has a very nice session handling feature using the active memory on the system and is quite fast. But on the other hand, unless you have a pretty powerful system, JSP loads quite slow (obviously since it's java... :-)

Not too sure about ASP, but I believe it also handles sessions nicely and there are several libraries you can use to use microsoft sql or access (which i hate) to store session info.
