I hope this gets in on 2.7 though it has been feature freezed 😟 |
|
I'm pretty sure there already exists a redis session handler, even as PHP C extension. |
|
@Tobion please have a closer look. This is just a wrapper which internally uses the C extension. You can set the session handler on a PHP configuration level but often it is more convenient to place it right into your app. That's why all other handlers were created in the first place. |
|
@sgrodzicki I had a close lock and I don't see the point of it.
So what's the advantage? |
When do you think it's more convenient to use a custom handler, instead of the native one? |
|
@jakzal when you don't have access to the PHP configuration file and/or you're hosting multiple Symfony projects on the same server/workers. |
|
@sgrodzicki you can set the native handler in code with ini_set. You don't need access to the config file. |
|
@Tobion how is that different from Memcached/MongoDB? |
|
Closing for the reasons given by @Tobion |
