Introduction

Found at: https://github.com/Dynom/SessionHandler

This session handler has one purpose: To provide a reliable session
backend by offering a redundant storage system for PHP sessions. Easily 
implementable for existing and new systems.


When not to use it

You can always use it, but if you only have one backend system it's much
more efficient to use the default features PHP offers.


Installation

* Make sure you meet the requirements for the drivers you wish to use, for
example: Make sure you have a MySQL server if you want to use the MySQL 
diver, etc. 

* Download the SessionHandler, and make it available in your project(s).
You can do this in a couple of ways, either hack it in your project or
use the 'auto_prepend_file' php.ini setting. The test.php shows a possible
way of including it in your codebase.

* Define the drivers and their configuration.

* Set the config directive 'save_handler' to 'user'. Do this either in
your php.ini, webserver option directive (such as .htaccess) or in 
your script (Like so: ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');)

..And done!


Drivers

At moment of writing there are two, the Memcache and the MySQL, but more
will be added later. Writing your own is extremely easy, extend the
abstract class D_SessionDriver_Abstract and implement the missing parts.
Look at the available drivers on how to do that.

* Memcache
  Make sure you have the 'Memcache' extension (note that there are multiple
  Memcache extension.)
  
* MySQL
  Make sure you compiled PHP with MySQL support
