I’m developing a generic app on PHP that is dynamically customized for many clients.
I have the class client, where I load the style and preferences for the client.
My question is:
Is it a good practice to save that object in a session? (I think that is the best solution instead of creating the object in each page, that will need lots of mysql querys.
There are few things you need to consider while you deal with session.
You should not store vary large values in session.
i think this is not a problem in your case as preferences are usally small enough.
When you store object in session. you might not get realtime updates. as for example lets say same user is logged in using two separate browsers and/or machines and modify preferences in one. in this case other one will not have the updated customization. its not a big problem but depends on your requirements.
I don’t see any other problem here. in fact its valid and good solution to store small values in session and avoid db queries.
