Don't worry too much about what Mike had to say. I've designed hundreds
of web sites using sessions. The smaller sites I just use the default
handling; larger ones I'll use a database. But they all work fine.
Where you will run into problems is when you go to very large sites
split across multiple servers. You need a different approach there.
The largest I worked on had around 30 "front end" servers with load
balancing; data was pulled from over 100 other systems. But this job
was much more than PHP could handle well. We used Java and EJB
(Enterprise Java Beans) for a seamless connection between the web server
and the data.
You can do it like Mike indicates - but when you get this complicated
there are better technologies than PHP.
