How to manage a single PHP5 session on multiple apache servers?

Question

Hi I have to retrieve data from several web servers. First I login as a user to my web site. After successfull login I have to fetch data from different web servers and display. How can I share a single session with multiple servers. How can I achieve this?

When I first login it create session and session id saved on temp folder of that server. When I try to access another server how can I use current session that already created when I logged in. Can anybody suggest a solution?

You'll have to use another session handler.

You can:

• build your own (see session_set_save_handler) or
• use extensions that provide their own session handler, like memcached
