MySQL-backed PHP Sessions in WordPress

wpdb-phpsessions is a PHP sessions backend that uses the MySQL database (via $wpdb) for storage and management.

Why is this even needed?

In an endeavor to speed WordPress sites up we decided to move all PHP sessions into the database. Check out our extensive PHP Sessions Can Hurt Your WordPress Performance article for more information and caveats.
