Re: PHP4 & sessions

My experience so far is that the save_handler thing still doesn't work for writing, which is half of what you need for sessions... We use a home grown version - I'm sure there are many others out there. I'd give an example here, but it uses cookies - nearly all session code does, as it's the easiest way to do things. You specifically say you don't want to use cookies (why not?). AJDIN BRANDIC wrote: > Hi, > I'm trying to understand sessions and I've looked at some tutorials but > still I'm not 100% on it.
