Re: Preventing Multiple Log-Ins after Authentication

If you do not want to use cookes and use SID or trans SID; Another method is to track your logins via a database. This can be resource intensive though. You need to update the database upon each click or have an empty window refresh every 1-5 minutes. If there is no activity for 15 or 30 minutes automatically log the person off in the database. This requires a process to run in cron or a separate background program. The advantage of this is that is very easy to add time based accounting to the session management system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monty" <monty3@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 1:57 PM Subject: [PHP] Preventing Multiple Log-Ins after Authentication > Is there a standard method in PHP for preventing multiple people from using > the same log-in username/password simultaneously on a membership site?
