[Phplib-users] Max session data size with phplib db sessions

[Dan V. D. <da...@cy...>]

I am encountering a situation where I do not retain all my data inserted in
to my session across pages. This site utilizes a database to maintain the
sessions still. Is there a size limit on the data inserted in the session?
If so what are the limits. Also, would converting the site over to using
php4 based sessions with phplib perhaps fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

In stuff/create_database.mysql, the session data is a text column 
(65535 bytes).

You can use the split container class, CT_Split_Sql, instead of the 
standard container class, CT_Sql. Or you could change the column type 
to mediumtext.
