Switching to memcache for sessions |
Hello,
I need to save sessions to memcache instead of files in my local instance of codeignitor. This is what I did: Step 1 : updated config.php $config['sess_driver'] = 'memcached'; $config['sess_save_path'] = 'localhost:11211'; Step 2: update php.ini session.save_handler=memcached session.save_path="tcp://localhost:11211?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1&retry_interval=15" Step 3: Restart apache This works fine. Now when I need to deploy this to the server, I came to know that I am not allowed to update the ini settings because Im using shared services. My question is: how do I set session.save_handler and session.save_path via code in codeignitor and not depend on updating php.ini of the server?
You might be able to do it in an .htaccess file in your doc root.
Simpler is always better

First of all, CodeIgniter will set the session.save_handler based on $config['sess_driver'] . CodeIgniter would ignore the php.ini setting for session.save_handler as it sets up its own SessionHander class to attend to all the open/close, read/write, etc chores for managing Sessions. Second, session.save_path can be and is set via PHP Code: ini_set('session.save_path', config_item('sess_save_path')); In short, your $config settings should be all you need. IMO, find a different ISP because neither of those items should affect a shared server that is properly set up.
Thanks for replying to my query!
I see that in Session_files_driver it does; ini_set('session.save_path', $this->_config['save_path']); // setting the php.ini But does not do anything similar in Session_memcache_driver. I tried adding it in the __contruct but that dint work. Im using CI version 3.3.0

The Memcached driver does not use 'session.save_path' from php.ini. It only needs/uses a value from $this->_config['save_path']. Is it not working using just the $config items?
