Best practice for writing session data to table other than 'sessions' ...

[phpdawg]

Hello all,

 

Here is the skinny:

I'm storing sessions in a db table called 'sessions'. It works great, no problems at all. But, I need to store one of the variables (let's say $ip, for discussion sake) in a different table that's more permanent and with no garbage collector. I need to update this on each page.

 

What I am wondering is what is the best practice for doing this? Put a db query in its own included file at the beginning of each page? I don't want to do something too dumb like have multiple queries in the wrong place or whatever.

 

Any feedback for this noob?
