This Mod was inspired by the original DB Session by Dready. Last updated on 2 April 2008.

Created in March 2008, it takes the new version of CodeIgniter's 1.6.1 Session class and combines DB Session with some newly revised functions.

Improvements include

  • Flashdata was not optimised for database storing. The number of queries when using the "flashdata" commands have been reduced significantly.
  • Whenever new data has been stored, a new session_id is assigned to improve security.
  • General improvements that have boosted performance.
  • Object model is exactly the same, so its easy to replace your main existing Session class with this one.

Changelog

Version 1.0

  • Initial release

Final Note

There may be some final improvements and they will be logged on this wiki page. Any criticism to help improve this mod is welcome.

Now for the code... Enjoy.
