Maximum Number of Sessions with PhP/MySQL?

marisab

I have tried searching the PhP and MySQL documentation for the answer to this, but I must not be using the right search terms:

Is there a limit to the number of sessions that can be going simultaneously on an Apache Server running PhP 4.3.4 and accessing MySQL?

I know there is a limit on the number of persistent connections to MySQL, but my question is about how many sessionIDs can be generated and active at the same time.

Thank you!

unlimited since the session is only some information that need's to be stored somehwere

usually in your server's filesystem and therefor maybe causing problems with your available diskspace but i don't think this to be very realistic 😉

In terms of mysql persistent connections you'll need to check your php.ini file.
Taken from the php manual, latest php.ini from the cvs

; Maximum number of persistent links.  -1 means no limit.
mysql.max_persistent = -1

; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent).  -1 means no limit.
mysql.max_links = -1
