mapleleaf Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I read somewhere that a max of 4kb can be stored in a session. Is this correct? I am using a database for my sessions so am not sure where the limit is coming from if indeed there is one. Maybe the 4kb is a max for a cookie?? Anyone??

gevans Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I believe that the session size limit is defined by your available memory_limit in php.ini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaf Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 So we are talking 8mb. That will be more than enough information to carry around on any of my users! Any idea where the 4kb concept may have come from? Perhaps my little brain just imagined it. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Session data is stored in a file on your server. 8mb's is plenty per user and should not kill your diskspace, but let's be real. There is a slim chance you will ever break 100KB per user, unless your site is setup weird. Maybe a cookie is 4kb, but that is stored on the user's machine. Session data is stored on your server.

You can also have only 20 cookies per server/domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
