This has been asked many times, do a search in the database.
One thing you can do is use the database to store your session data. Just do a quick search and you'll find your answer of the advantages!

I don't quite get why you would use the database to store session data vs php native filesys session handeling. Isn't that quite resource intensive, for minimal gain?
Just trying to clarify if I've missed out on a big benefit.

Look for any post by mrbinky3000 - he populated quite a few threads with complaints about CI sessions.
In general the answer you're looking for is 'because they're easier, bigger, and possibly something else too'.

[/quote]Well, you're ahead of me then.
I still don't know what the issue actually is (or was).

Well .. come on. If you haven't read the actual [url="/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html"]Session Class[/url] page in the user guide before asking, then you are deserving of a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.
And if you have read it, then you'll have seen a few reasons why CI sessions are better than native PHP sessions.
