[wp-hackers] The WordPress way to store temporary per user data (sessions)?

[Jeremy Clarke]

For the record, here is the transients api Codex article:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API

Useful for any temporary data saving. Works just like the options api but
they get cleared out after a set amount of time. To save temporary user data
you could save transients with names that identify the user.
