CGI::Session::Driver::mysql - CGI::Session driver for MySQL database

CONTENTS

    $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", $sid);
    $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", $sid, { DataSource  => ’dbi:mysql:test’,
                                                   User        => ’sherzodr’,
                                                   Password    => ’hello’ });
    $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", $sid, { Handle => $dbh } );

mysql stores session records in a MySQL table. For details see CGI::Session::Driver::DBI, its parent class.

mysql driver supports all the arguments documented in CGI::Session::Driver::DBI. In addition, DataSource argument can optionally leave leading dbi:mysql: string out:

    $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", $sid, {DataSource=>’shopping_cart’});
    # is the same as:
    $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", $sid, {DataSource=>’dbi:mysql:shopping_cart’});

For backwards compatibility, you can also set the table like this before calling new(). However, it is not recommended because it can cause conflicts in a persistent environment.

    $CGI::Session::MySQL::TABLE_NAME = ’my_sessions’;

For support and licensing see CGI::Session.
