We want files! We want files! We want files!

I love having sessions saved to a directory as the php sessions do it. There is even clean up handled automatically.

Especially when so many people are scared of cookies and turn them off. But the darn database sessions thing can clog up on ya . So ...

erhm... you'll still need a cookie for sessions stored in files.

So, even when stored in php sessions in a file in a /tmp dir it uses cookies? That's ok ... I like cookies. I just have a problem with people turning them off then wondering why they can't stay logged in to their account (when XOOPS is using SENT cookies) and sending desperate pleas for help and screaming silly accusations that the site is all messed up at three o'clock in the morning ...

On the other hand saving the data in the database does work transparently to those who don't allow cookies, but the database tends to get clogged (or so I've heard) if there isn't some kind of routine to clean up old sessions.

Thanks for taking time to reply !
