count of active sessions

posted by netpork 7 years ago

is there a way to get the number of active sessions?

I want to reduce the database calls, so the 'database approach' with user last activity timestamp doesn't help.

Cheers!

If you use the default directory-based session backend (the kind you set via setPath), you could get a ceiling value for the number of active sessions by counting the number of session files in that directory. PHP doesn't guarantee that the folder is cleaned up on time, though, and this includes sessions that are still open but not currently in use (e.g. persistence sessions by "Remember Me" login features, and sessions with no active user but still active).
