Session drivers - omid_student - 09-27-2017
Hello
There is multi driver for session (file,database and other)
What is different between this driver?

The drives store the session data in different location.
file writes all data to the harddisk. On a busy site you can end up with thousands of files in the folder and a hight IO load.
database will add the session data into a database which normally has less IO load then direct file use.
But this depends also on your hardware and server setup.

Which one do you suggest for use?

As I already said in my post. It depends on you hardware.
Personally i always use Database. But then all my databases have there own server and do not share the web server resources.

Another thing to keep in mind when choosing a driver is the speed.
