Question

I’m getting comfortable with the Lithium framework, and was wondering if there were any samples for using MongoDB or Memcache for Lithium Sessions. Would there need to be a new Session Adapter written?

Answer 1

One option is to set the session adapter to 'Php' in lithium and pass 'session.save_handler' => 'memcached' to the config options which will use the memcached extension’s save handler to store sessions in memcache:

Session::config(array(
    'default' => array(
        'adapter' => 'Php',
        'session.save_handler' => 'memcached',
        'session.save_path' => 'sess1:11211, sess2:11211'
    )
));

I store sessions in MongoDb by using the 'Model' adapter (which is available on lab.lithify.me):

Session::config(array(
    'default' => array(
        'adapter' => 'Model',
        'model' => 'app\models\Sessions',
        'name' => 'session'
    )
));
