[geeklog-devel] CAPTCHA v3.0 removes reliance on PHP sessions

[Web Site Master]

This is something that we have needed.

Are you planning for it to be able to handle arrays?  I have an array that
is built in a plugin each time the user accesses a page.  Building it once
and storing it for a session would be a lot faster than rebuilding it for
each access.

problems than they solve right now.

I had a feature request for a new table supported by lib-sessions called
gl_sess_vars. It would have three columns: sess_id, name, var. 
lib-sessions would expose a new global: $_SESS_ID that would be used as half
of the key for gl_sess_vars (the other half being name). When lib-sessions
does maintanance to remove dead sessions from gl_sessions it would also
clean up gl_sess_vars.

This would solve all sorts of issues with forms knowing where they came from
that I can't believe it didn't get written sooner. If someone will guarantee
this feature will be accepted, I'll write the change to lib-session myself.
