Session Question

Hi,

I would be grateful of any clarification on this.

I am looking at the posibility of using session management in my site. I was wondering whether someone could clearly define what can and can't be done with sessions. I have managed to pass everything apart from database resource ids and class objects.

My question is, Is this possible and if so how?

I would also be interested on peoples views on PHP Session management, whether it is worth while incorporating it into your site.

Thanks for any help.

I rolled my own session management in the days before PHP4 and probably still will since I'm comfortable with it.

Worth it depends on what you are doing. If you need it, you need it; if you don't. you don't.

At this point you can only pass object properties thru serialization, not methods.

You cannot pass a database result id, because the memory that the result index points to is owned by the process that performed the query, which dies when the script exits.

I have a problem, not the same as yours though,

I use php4 on PWS NT workstation.

I use the basic session example in the php docs, the e-commerce tut on devshed and the origional example from devshed(couch sessions) and no luck.

I get a page, yet when I view source - nothing after the body tag?

any suggestions?
