I'm sure there are many other people in the same situation... I have never used phplib either, but I have done sessions many times. My personal favourite way to do sessions is to have people login using http auth and on the sql query where I check their password I also fetch their user profile and whatever else I need to start the session. http auth sessions are basically identical to cookie sessions in that the client browser sends what amounts to a cookie with their unique identifier, but unlike cookies, it is impossible for the user to disable these. But, sometime http auth isn't an option for people and straight cookie sessions are useful. It's still not much more than a SetCookie() call and a couple of sql queries. > Hmm, that's not true; Your browser opens many HTTP connections to the > same web server with the same cookie - it may blow up. Yeah, when I was thinking about it I figured that the other connections would be for inline images where presumably no session stuff was needed. I forgot about the frames case. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
