    Description

    Utilizing a Cache as a session saveHandler is like having a saveHandler as a database except a bit more flexible.

    The cache supports the Zend_Cache_Core frontend and any backend attached to it. This becomes extremely valuable for things like Memcache / Memcached. In a development environment we have even used APC.

    Attached is a patch for this improvement that contains the SaveHandler support and tests.

    The files are as follows: M tests/Zend/Session/SaveHandler/AllTests.php A tests/Zend/Session/SaveHandler/CacheTest.php A library/Zend/Session/SaveHandler/Cache.php

    Usage:

    Configuration INI File (for Zend_Application): resources.session.saveHandler.class = Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Cache

    Bootstrap.php (for Zend_Application):

        protected function _initSessionCache()
        $this->bootstrap('session');
        $opts = $this->getOptions();
        if ('Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Cache' == $opts['resources']['session']['saveHandler']['class']) {
            $cache = $this->bootstrap('cachemanager')
                          ->getResource('cachemanager')
                          ->getCache('memcached');
            Zend_Session::getSaveHandler()->setCache($cache);
        }
    }

    Hi Mike

    There a need of elaborate a propose, but already exists a porpose to this component http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/….

    I have a code similar the this but propose only would accepted until final of August.

    Also Zend_Session in ZF2 has changes and Zend_Cache is in phase refactoring.

    Greetings Ramon

    For the record: the SaveHandler functionality in ZF2 is not much changed, if at all, as it simply provides an interface for building a component that works with session_set_save_handler.

    Mike -- I'd forgotten about the cache savehandler, and that it was already accepted. Closing this issue, as it will be implemented for ZF2.
