Rolling your own session management tool, whilst undoubtedly fun and satisfying, is hardly an appropriate solution to this type of enquiry, which is apparently from someone taking their first steps in web development.Unsurprisingly, this is a situation that has been encountered many times before, and there are off-the-shelf solutions. ADOdb has a really nice session manager: http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/docs-session.htm Database-backed sessions are particularly useful if you have multiple redundant web servers as successive hits within a session may go to different servers, so file- or memory-based sessions are not much use. Despite this, I also suspect that sessions may not be the way to go. User authentication and management is not a synonym for sessions.
