Re: sessions without cookies?

if yours only storeing one or two variables in a db, dont mind writing either functions to store all this in the db, or having 5-10 lines of code per page to this then fine. But sessions are so simple... <? session_start(); $test[] = '123'; $test[] = '456'; $test[] = '789' $someclass = new product_class(); $SessionID = time(); session_register('test'); session_register('someclass'); session_register('SessionID'); ?> three lines of code, I can store text, arrays, class's all in three lines of code, four if you count session_start(). now one those vars have been registered you no longer have to execute session_register() everytime you change something, its all automatic. I use sessions because they are so simple. I cant say for sure but a good guess would be that file I/O from sessions would be less overhead then mysql_db overhead. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com lee@mediawaveonline.com "Noel Akins" <nakins@arkansas.net> wrote in message news:5.0.2.1.0.20010125190927.00ab4a70@mail.arkansas.net... > Would there be any point in using php sessions if you aren't using cookies? > You have to store login info anyway, why not just use a temp table to store > transaction info and write to the database at the end of a session?
