Hello, This seems be a rather basic problem but I haven't found the solution in the last several hours and have run out of ideas. I am using MP2 with Apache::Session 1.80. I have created a session object class so I can keep the retrieving of the session out of my main code. The session is called started/retrieved in a constructor:
sub new { my $this = shift; my $class_name = ref($this) || $this; my $sid = shift; # should be undef if not passed # create a session object based on the cookie we got from the # browser, or a new session if we got no cookie my %session; tie %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $sid, { Handle => $_dbh, LockHandle => $_dbh }; $session{'stuff'} = 'is this in the database?'; my $objRef = {'sid' => $session{_session_id}, 'session' => \%session }; # create references to object bless $objRef, $class_name; # associate reference with class return $objRef; } Note that I set 'stuff' immediately after the session is created. I would expect at this point that the database be updated. Then I use subroutines to add and retrieve data from the session. The session is inserted into the sessions table, but the a_session is never updated. I tried using the tied( %session )->make_modified, and I tried untie( %session ) when I am done with the request, but none of those seem to cause anything to be written in the database. Here is the table definition: mysql> describe sessions; +-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | id | varchar(32) | | PRI | | | | a_session | text | YES | | NULL | | +-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Any one have any ideas? much appreciatively, greanie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
