Re: [PHP] Share Session Vars on 2 servers From: Philip Murray (webmaster <email protected>)
Date: 08/01/01

Hi Paul,

If you have a single database between the 2 servers you could implement your
own session handlers using PostgreSQL, Mysql or any other db for that
matter.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php

Shouldn't be to difficult to do at all I imagine.

Hope this helps!
