RE: [PHP] Sessions Questions

Sure, Sessions are stored as individual files (session id is the filename) by default in a /tmp directory (actual location can be detected by running phpinfo()). This is unless your site is using save handler functions (installed by session_set_save_handler(), see the manual), since this is your site, you would probably know if session handlers are being used, most often this is done to use a database session table. listing the directory should give you a list of sessions, and the modification timestamp of the file should tell you which ones are most current. The file will contain a single string of serialized data (see the manual). if it's in a database, the table usually consists of three elements, the session_key, a timestamp column, and a single column containing a single string of serialized data (just like the file). I have used this to hunt down users triggering error conditions on my site (user id was stored in the session data), and a quick phone call to discuss what the user was trying to do often resulted in quick resolution to the problems. good luck, Warren Vail warren@vailtech.net -----Original Message----- From: Bob Irwin [mailto:bob@staff.pnc.com.au] Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2003 11:33 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sessions Questions Hi Guys, Is it possible to read the data of all active sessions? I'm playing around with a chat room script and want to be able to get all the active sessions and the values that have been set for them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a function that can do this?
