I am fairly new to PHP and have setup a site that connects to a MySQL db to
store different information from our users, however what I would like to
setup is something that I could place on a few pages to track users for
demographic purposes. What I need to do is as a page is visited I need to
generate a random alpha numeric identifier to be used as a session variable
for a cookie and also have that cookie's information be placed into a MySQL
database for later retrieval. If anyone has a good resource tutorial on
this type of function I would greatly appriciate it. Oh and yes I have done
quite a bit of research on php.net on both the session() and the setcookie()
functions. =) Thanks again. Jas
