For example, if session is new (no record in your DB when read is called), just insert it when close is called. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 05:48:50] fabian at ahrberg dot se I share a server with a couple of other sites using php and I'm the only one using mysql to store sessions. By storing all my sessions in a table, both empty and not, I get a measure of how many sessions my site has started. This gives me a rough idea of how many vistors I have at a specfic time, just by counting the rows in the table. Further on, I differ logged in users by counting those who have the a flag registered. This gives me fast and rough stats of how many users that are visisting the site and how many of them who are logged in. Now, when I get the empty sessions all mixed up with the other sites ut gets way too rough. I have thought of a couple of possible solutions with by always registering a variable to session but it makes it more ineffcient than before. I think you get the picture. Maybe you have a simple soloution, if so please share =). I've gotta go now. Have a nice weekend. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 02:19:03] derick@php.net What is the big problem here exactly?
