RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers

Depends how you have it set up now. Usually, once a session is valid, you set a variable within it to check for. <? Session_start(); If(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) ... ?> If they are requesting login.php, but they already have a session, then destroy that one with session_destroy(). It's really a mute point, though, because if they are already going to log in, they'll get a new session, anyhow, just like anyone else logging in. ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: César Aracena [mailto:icaam@icaam.com.ar] > Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 2:28 AM > To: 'PHP General List' > Subject: RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers > > > If the user even decides to log in as themselves, you can see if a > > cookie/session was sent and delete that cookie/session before you let > > the other person log in. > > [César L.
