Are you sure? I checked all the session related ini directives in the manual and none seemed relevant to this.
As far as I am aware, there is no limit to the size of a session, given that it doesn't cause PHP to run out of the limited amount of memory it can use.
Of course, a session so large it starts warranting this question is probably large enough to start causing performance hits. The IO operations required to open and close a large session can take their toll. - It's better to store data that is not used frequently in a database or even just dumped into a temporary file, so it won't have to be read and written for every request.

thanks all,
in my web site I have header, content then footer php files.
I wanted to handle banner data in header.php via the controle pannel. I tried to get data from database and try to load it in header.php . I use codeninigter frame work. .
therefore when header is first loaded it show error since databse is not print data in header. All php goes in the content.php so , I thought to use session. it works now. but I have lot of text to set to session. Then, I wanted to know whther there is any limitation to avoid crashes.
If you have any better option plz let me know.
thx again!!!

That doesn't make sense. Why can you use a session in your header but not a database?
Could you perhaps show us the code that is doing this?

@atli, I misread it and thought he was referring to the default cookie expiration time for the session id.
