CRedisCache HTTP Session Store

linc_sanders · June 18, 2012, 12:49pm

I know it is bad practice to store session data in cache, however given Redis’s disk storage I think it might be a viable option for Session data storing in production environments.

This is a little extension off of CCacheHttpSession which assumes an installation of CRedisCache as the Cache component, and taps into that to store all session data in a user-configured Redis DB, with the intention of being separate from the production cache DB’s.

Let me know fixes, bugs, better-ways-to-do-things, anything really.

Extract into extensions, configure as such in your components to connect to 127.0.0.1:6379 -

‘cache’ => array(

'class'=&gt;'ext.redis.CRedisCache',


'servers'=&gt;array(


	'database'=&gt;0,


),

),

‘session’=>array(

'class' =&gt; 'ext.PRedisCacheHttpSession.PRedisCacheHttpSession',


'database' =&gt; 9, //This should be different from your cache redis DB, or indeed any other redis DB currently in use.

),

there are works doing the same thing as you : yiiRedis

you can find more component beyond the RedisSession

and also look at this one redisCache

Cool, good stuff. All I really wanted was a way to provide a separate redis DB for the sake of isolating the Session store (handy when running cache->flushdb() and not wanting to loose the current session store).

Cheers!
