SYNOPSIS

       string apache_note (string  $note_name, [string	$note_value = ""])

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	is  a  wrapper for Apache's table_get and table_set. It edits the table of notes that exists during a request. The table's
       purpose is to allow Apache modules to communicate.

	The main use for apache_note(3) is to pass information from one module to another within the same request.

PARAMETERS

	      o $note_name
		- The name of the note.

	      o $note_value
		- The value of the note.

RETURN VALUES

	If called with one argument, it returns the current value of note note_name. If called with two arguments,  it	sets  the  value  of  note
       note_name to note_value and returns the previous value of note note_name. If the note cannot be retrieved, FALSE is returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Passing information between PHP and Perl

	      <?php

	      apache_note('name', 'Fredrik Ekengren');

	      virtual("/perl/some_script.pl");

	      $result = apache_note("resultdata");
	      ?>

	      # Get Apache request object
	      my $r = Apache->request()->main();

	      # Get passed data
	      my $name = $r->notes('name');

	      # some processing

	      # Pass result back to PHP
	      $r->notes('resultdata', $result);

NAME

       Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack - mod_usertrack for session ID generation

SYNOPSIS

	 use Apache::Session::Flex;

	 tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Flex', $id, {
	     Store     => 'MySQL',
	     Lock      => 'Null',
	     Generate  => 'ModUsertrack',
	     Serialize => 'Storable',
	     ModUsertrackCookieName => 'usertrack', # optional
	 };

DESCRIPTION

       Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack enables you to use cookie tracked by mod_usertrack as session id for Apache::Session framework.
       This module fits well with long-term sessions, so better using RDBMS like MySQL for its storage.

CONFIGURATION

       This module accepts one extra configuration option.

       ModUsertrackCookieName
	   Specifies cookie name used in mod_usertrack. "Apache" for default, so change this if you change it via "CookieName" directive in
	   mod_usertrack.

LIMITATION WITHOUT MOD_PERL
       This module first tries to fetch named cookie, but will in vain ONLY WHEN the HTTP request is the first one from specific client to the
       mod_usertrack enabled Apache web server. It is because if the request is for the first time, cookies are not yet baked on clients.

       If you run scripts under mod_perl, this module tries to steal (not yet baked) cookie from Apache request notes.

       See Apache for details.
