Hello,
I am working on a web site that is available only over HTTPS and am
using session tracking.
So far I am only saving the person's display name (different then
login), site role and e-mail address in the "$_SESSION" data.
The rest of the site is dynamic, now the question is on three particular
pages the user fills in a form and hit's submit. Now at the moment on
each page is a hidden variable containing a db primary key for which the
data is getting updated.
I know that hidden values are not a good idea since the user can change
them ... so I was going to store the hidden value in a "$_SESSION"
variable but then the problem is ... what happens when the user has two
- three windows open and they are updating two - three different items.
Each having it's own db key ?
If I stored the key in a session variable the last one opened would over
write any previous one.
I hope I explained this correctly ... multiple updates and access to the
site is allowed and can not be changed.
Thanks.
Michael.
