Now when trying to understand this and get everything right, shouldn't
"$driver = 'memcache';" be set after setting the "$persistent_params" array
to which "$driver" is passed? When I read the code above, then "memcache"
is passed to this array, is this intended?

Sorry if this question is stupid, but I couldn't figure out something else
that causes my sessions not to be saved in the sql session table.
