A stupid suggestion / question?!

Post by SecretSurfer »

Hello :D

I don’t really know whether this is the right board but I have a suggestion for upcoming releases of s9y...

Maybe it would be a great deal to do the session management inside the database like phpbb2 (http://www.phpbb.com) does. Not only because of potential security advantages, but for a better compatibility across the available platforms.

The best place for such idea is our SourceForge.Net Feature Request tracker.

Having a DB-based session storage is hard to achieve because we offer DB backends for PGSql, MySQL and SQLite. Each one would need a different session implementation if it should stay fast (heap tables for MySQL, ...). Maybe you'd like to contribute? :-))

Regards,
Garvin.
