Re: User validation and Session management

There is a pretty good tutorial on a simular topic on Site Point... it deals with restricting SOME pages of a website, and would be reasonably easy to adapt to work with a permissions table -- although I'd keep the user_id in a session, and check if *THIS USER* has permission for *THIS PAGE*, rather than checking if *THIS SESSION* has permission. http://www.WebmasterBase.com/article/319 It depends how you want to structure your permissions, but I've got a few ideas on how to extend/modify the code to suit your needs -- feel free to contact me off list. I used this tutorial and code base as the basis of my own session management and user login stuff, which is functioning well. Note: it does use cookies, which you may or may not consider an issue.
