is there a way to stop session hijacking? If a user is authenticated using a session, there is nothing stopping in finding the session id, appending it to the URL in a new browser and taking over their session. I tried using the REMOTE_ADDR field, but some ISP POST form variables from a different IP to GET requests and, users using a proxy are prone to error. Any ideas would be great. http://www.php.net/manual/ref.session.php
