RE: [PHP] Deleting session vars

Only the session variable is stored in the cookie and the environment you have registered in the session is stored on the server in the session file. So there is totally no database interaction needed for a session since the php4 session system organizes it all... Need I say more? Then read http://www.php.net/manual/html/ref.session.html Grtz, dowebwedo Jeroen Wesbeek .programming St. Jacobsstraat 16 Postbus 448 | 3500 AK Utrecht The Netherlands p 030 2348110 | f 030 2348605 [roses are red, violets are blue, I am schizophrenic and so am I ] -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:maxim.maletsky@japaninc.net] Sent: dinsdag 31 oktober 2000 12:33 To: 'Boris Crismancich' Cc: 'PHP General List. (E-mail)' Subject: RE: [PHP] Deleting session vars wait a minute, sessions are using cookies, it's authenticating the UNIQUE SID registered in my browser, so at the same time Maxim and Boris can browse the same area. Your server simply checks for my cookie (if session started), gets the SID and pulls the data out from Hard Drive. If you register something into the database you need then UPDATE staff SET whatever=whatever WHERE SID=$SID, so in this case we do not overwrite each other. right? tell me I am wrong... I think I just misunderstood your question .. -----Original Message----- From: Boris Crismancich [mailto:crismancich@wettermacher.de] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 8:24 PM To: Maxim Maletsky Subject: Re: [PHP] Deleting session vars Imagine youre on a page and youre member... you log in with your name and your password. name="name" value="Maxim" name="password" value="dunno" are submitted to the PHP script. _____________________________ script: Session Var "userid" is registered. If name and pasword are correct, userid is set to name: $userid = $name; ______________________________ Now youre surfing through the Site saving sth to your Profile. Now your friend wants to enter his Profile (Same computer, sessions still registered) and loggs in with following Form data: name="name" value="Boris" name="password" value="askme" Now the same Login Script registers "userid" and now should look wether askme is the right password for Boris, but sadly $name still contains Maxim. So there seems to be sth like a reference between $name and $userid, but I have not set it. When I leave out Session_start(), anything works ok. But then I cant register Boris as new User ID.
