hi perrin, yes, i did read the discussion with interest a few months back regarding what should be stored in a session and what in the back end database. customer and order data is properly stored in a secured back end system. the cart contains data that i want to keep for 30 days, such as cart data, affiliate reference data and things of that nature.
i have found the sessions to be simple, quick, convenient and a reliable way to maintain this transient data. the fact is, the data is in there, and i need to migrate it to the new sessions. i may redesign the system at a later time, but the buying season is upon us, and reenginerring this part of the system is not in the current plans. thanks! cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Frankly, this all begs the question of why you are putting important > long-term data in Apache::Session.
