store mysqli_query result in session

Question

I want to store the result of a MySQLi query as a session variable so that I can reuse it without executing the query again. I don\'t want to execute the same query on every pag

If you want to store the data not only for one client, but serverside I would recommend you to look at how to build a in-memory server side cache in php?. Some frameworks have this already built in.

Otherwise use one of the mysqli API methods like http://php.net/manual/de/mysqli-result.fetch-assoc.php, this should return you an array not an object.

mysqli_query() returns an object which you can not store into session (there is a method for converting an object to an array, but I would not recommend you to store the whole object) http://php.net/manual/de/function.get-object-vars.php
