Sessions saved in Mysql

[Bobscrachy]

How do i save sessions into mysql using the session_set_save_handler?

 

I tried following this tutorial here, but I got hung up on certain parts.

 

1) If it is setup so that you can keep session_start(); unchanged how does the script know to point towards a php file with the session_set_save_handler code?

 

2) Does each function of the session_set_save_handler IE

('_open','_close','_read','_write','_destroy','_clean'); 

need their own php files, or are they all stored in one big file?

1: Your call to session_set_save_handler needs to be included within each script that uses sessions.

 

2: You can place them all in one file, this file needs to be included within all your scripts that use sessions.

Can it be placed above session_start();or will that cause a header error?

[trq]

It actually needs to be called prior to session_start(). Why would it cause a header error?

[Bobscrachy]

Because wouldn't that be having stuff before the session_start code.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by()

 

So is this legal?

 

<?php

require "bob.php";

session_start();

 

stuff;

?>

 

where bob.php has all the session_set_save_handler code.

You can't have any output prior to session_start() is all.
