Is it a good practice to store user info. in sessions?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I am making a user class for my script which stores all the user information in sessions. It takes user id as parameter and gets the info from database and stores it in the session variable. I did this for easy access of data as I don't want to query database every now and then.

Is this a good practice? If not, why?
