Thanks for the input Kirk!
Unfortunately, I don't have the ability modify my php.ini (virtual hosting).
Also, if I saved the session data in the database, I'd have to perform a
database query to get it at the beginning of each page. That's probably not
good for performance. :/
option #1 interests me.... what do you use to achieve this? I might be
able to suggest it to my host... they are extremely accommodating.
I think option #3 is the best solution, if it's possible. (I'm not sure if
it is or not without modifying the php.ini file) I've been trying to to
figure it out. My host is also looking into a fix, so when I find something
out, I'll let you all know. :)
