-John,
-
-I have been an extremely satisfied ADODB user for several years now.
-
-To give you something back for all your hard work, I've spent the last 3
-days rewriting the adodb-session.php code.
-
-----------
-What's New
-----------
-
-Here's a list of the new code's benefits:
-
-* Combines the functionality of the three files:
-
-adodb-session.php
-adodb-session-clob.php
-adodb-cryptsession.php
-
-each with very similar functionality, into a single file adodb-session.php.
-This will ease maintenance and support issues.
-
-* Supports multiple encryption and compression schemes.
- Currently, we support:
-
- MD5Crypt (crypt.inc.php)
- MCrypt
- Secure (Horde's emulation of MCrypt, if MCrypt module is not available.)
- GZip
- BZip2
-
-These can be stacked, so if you want to compress and then encrypt your
-session data, it's easy.
-Also, the built-in MCrypt functions will be *much* faster, and more secure,
-than the MD5Crypt code.
-
-* adodb-session.php contains a single class ADODB_Session that encapsulates
-all functionality.
- This eliminates the use of global vars and defines (though they are
-supported for backwards compatibility).
-
-* All user defined parameters are now static functions in the ADODB_Session
-class.
-
-New parameters include:
-
-* encryptionKey(): Define the encryption key used to encrypt the session.
-Originally, it was a hard coded string.
-
-* persist(): Define if the database will be opened in persistent mode.
-Originally, the user had to call adodb_sess_open().
-
-* dataFieldName(): Define the field name used to store the session data, as
-'DATA' appears to be a reserved word in the following cases:
- ANSI SQL
- IBM DB2
- MS SQL Server
- Postgres
- SAP
-
-* filter(): Used to support multiple, simulataneous encryption/compression
-schemes.
-
-* Debug support is improved thru _rsdump() function, which is called after
-every database call.
-
-------------
-What's Fixed
-------------
-
-The new code includes several bug fixes and enhancements:
-
-* sesskey is compared in BINARY mode for MySQL, to avoid problems with
-session keys that differ only by case.
- Of course, the user should define the sesskey field as BINARY, to
-correctly fix this problem, otherwise performance will suffer.
-
-* In ADODB_Session::gc(), if $expire_notify is true, the multiple DELETES in
-the original code have been optimized to a single DELETE.
-
-* In ADODB_Session::destroy(), since "SELECT expireref, sesskey FROM $table
-WHERE sesskey = $qkey" will only return a single value, we don't loop on the
-result, we simply process the row, if any.
-
-* We close $rs after every use.
-
----------------
-What's the Same
----------------
-
-I know backwards compatibility is *very* important to you. Therefore, the
-new code is 100% backwards compatible.
-
-If you like my code, but don't "trust" it's backwards compatible, maybe we
-offer it as beta code, in a new directory for a release or two?
-
-------------
-What's To Do
-------------
-
-I've vascillated over whether to use a single function to get/set
-parameters:
-
-$user = ADODB_Session::user(); // get
-ADODB_Session::user($user); // set
-
-or to use separate functions (which is the PEAR/Java way):
-
-$user = ADODB_Session::getUser();
-ADODB_Session::setUser($user);
-
-I've chosen the former as it's makes for a simpler API, and reduces the
-amount of code, but I'd be happy to change it to the latter.
-
-Also, do you think the class should be a singleton class, versus a static
-class?
-
-Let me know if you find this code useful, and will be including it in the
-next release of ADODB.
-
-If so, I will modify the current documentation to detail the new
-functionality. To that end, what file(s) contain the documentation? Please
-send them to me if they are not publically available.
-
-Also, if there is *anything* in the code that you like to see changed, let
-me know.
-
-Thanks,
-
