php - Session or Database lookup? -

i'm running php app laravel. should utilize sql lookup user info everytime or should store in session/cache after looking 1 time , pull there? info not alter unless user changes it, want @ on efficiency viewpoint.

if talking about logged in user info leave laravel. depending on configuration laravel maintain info , allow access info using unified api.

check configuration

the authentication configuration file located @ app/config/auth.php, contains several documented options tweaking behavior of authentication facilities.

by default, laravel includes user model in app/models directory may used default eloquent authentication driver. if application not using eloquent, may utilize database authentication driver uses laravel query builder.

to retrieve user/user info may utilize this:

$user = auth::user(); $useremail = auth::user()->email;

laravel utilize session store user id , original info stored in database, don't need worry user data. check documentation , allow laravel it.
