If I have a website where users login and logout, and each user has 4 session variables being used, how will this affect my site?
Say if I have 100,000 active members, then that would be effectively 400,000 session variables being passed at the same time. Will this affect the loading of my site? I understand php has a memory limit but do not fully understand it.
Thanks
4 variables per user is nothing, but my suggestion would be on a different level: Focus on what’s causing actual bottlenecks in your web site. This issue is probably not relevant right now, and is really easy to switch from in the future if this what slows you down. (And it won’t)
I bet you have much more important stuff to work on than worry about another variable, and when you get to that amount of active users, your whole structure will probably change, including servers and solutions. Good luck!
