How do I put PHP sessions into a database instead of the
default files-based method?

The quickest method to steering your PHP sessions into a database is by using ADODB's Session 2 class as your PHP save handler.

All you need to do is:

Download ADODB into you account.
Create a short script to configure the class (see below for an example).
Edit your php.ini. Set session.save_handler = user and auto_prepend_file to the script you just created.

<?
include_once("/PATH/TO/adodb/session/adodb-session2.php"); # where
/PATH/TO/adodb is the directory containing adodb.
$driver = "mysql";
$host = "db.modwest.com"; # or db1.modwest.com
$user = ""; #your shell user
$password = ""; #your database password
$database = ""; #your database name
$options = false;
ADOdb_Session::config($driver, $host, $user, $password,
$database,$options);
?>
