Re: session_decode from session handler

I have a similar problem I am facing with session data stored in the database from the set_session_handler. What I am trying to do is show a list of online users and the page they are currenlty viewing. For this purpose I am query the sessions table to get the list of session and from that I loop through to get the session data of each online user. But for some reason, I cannot decode/un-serialise the session data. Any pointers ? cheers, Jeffery On Friday 20 July 2007 08:25, Ryan Graciano wrote: > PHP passed $data to my write($id) function, and then I wrote it to the > database.
