Store Symfony-Sessions in the Database

On my recent project I used cloudhosting www.cloudcontrol.comĀ for easy scaling. Unfortunately they don’t support synchronized filestorage, so when you store a session on one machine, on the next request it is gone :(

There is a quite simple workaround, just store your sessions in the database:

The drawback is a (possibly) pretty huge database, so make sure you have some kind of garbage collector that cleans the entries from time to time.
