Subject: Memcache session handler
From: glenn.richmond@ilisys.com.au (Glenn Richmond)

Hi all,

I've just been implementing a memcache session handler that allows for
multiple servers in a cluster to store their session data in a central
place. I had to make the changes in the PHP source as the user session
handler doesn't quite work properly (it wipes the references to the PHP
functions when session_write_close is called). Anyway, so it's all
working quite well (still undergoing testing) and it works with a main
memcache server and a backup as a failover. I'd like to check the code
back into the source tree if it's something that might be of use to the
general community and am told that this is the list to discuss this?

So a couple of queries:

    * Is this something worth checking back into the main source tree?
    * How do I get registered as a developer or can I provide it as a
      .diff to an existing developer?

Best Regards,

Glenn Richmond.
