You need to read about how apache works. The server runs multiple processes with no sharing of data. You can use threads in apache 2, but most people will still use a database for this so they can handle clusters of servers, fail-over, etc. > And whats the connection of the real session (tags in url/cookie) with > this memory area? Please read the Apache::Session or CGI::Session docs. The thing you put in the URL or cookie is just an identifier. It has no actual session data in it. This is pretty standard for other platforms (Java, ASP, etc.) too. - Perrin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
