Hi,
I am just writing a user authentication system in php. I was planning to use
session variables to track logged in users as they navigate the site...
However, when the site is deployed it will be run on a server farm. Does
this break session variables in php?
If so does anyone know a way I can authenticate users that will work on a
server farm and will allow me to use a html form to get users to log in (I
know I could do it with $PHP_AUTH_USER but I believe this means that you
have to allow the browser to pop up a default log in dialog?).
thanks in advance for any help,
Kelvin.
