note 83842 added to function.session-regenerate-id

If you are storing your session data in a database you have to manually update the session_id in the database. The session_set_save_handler() will not do it for you. function UpdateSessID() { $old_sess_id = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(false); $new_sess_id = session_id(); $query = "UPDATE session_table SET session_id = '$new_sess_id' WHERE session_id = '$old_sess_id'"; mysql_query($query); } Be sure to set session_regenerate_id() to FALSE since it's not really necessary to delete the whole record from MySQL and add it again. That's unnecessary overhead. Only changing the id matters. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 72.68.224.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83842 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83842 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83842 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
