Checking the size of the session cookie - El Forum - 03-26-2010

Hi -
Does anyone know how to check the size of the session's user_data? I'm having a few problems whereby the session data is being lost occasionally without any obvious reason, and I guess one potential issue is that it is exceeding 4kb. I'd rather not switch to db sessions just because I think that's overkill for my needs.
Any ideas?
Dan.

No that's not quite what I meant - I need to know how big the data is in KB, since I want to make sure it isn't trying to store > 4KB.
