Session Data - Do I Need To Set A Cookie?
I've got this checklogin.php script (below). It uses a session with no cookies. And was wondering what the best way to access this data, from other pages, would be? As once the user has logged in, I would like to display their username on all other pages. Do I need to set a cookie? Is there a way I can do it without a cookie? Script: PHP Code: $host="localhost"; // Host name $username=""; // Mysql username $password=""; // Mysql password $db_name="acm_members"; // Database name $tbl_name="members"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // username and password sent from signup form $myusername=htmlentities($_POST['myusername']); .................

Register_globals And Get Post Cookie Session Data
I finally solved a problem that has had me tearing my hair out for a couple of hours. Mostly I'm just venting, but perhaps this will be a useful cautionary tale for someone. A script that was working fine on one server failed miserably on a second server. The biggest problem is that I was losing session data, but only some session data. It didn't make sense. I tried a bunch of stuff, not dice. Code:

Session_destroy() - How To Destroy The Session Data And Remove The Cookie?
I am curious how others solve this problem. After storing the data from sessions in the database. How do you handle the session data stored on the server and cookie on the users computer. I know how to destroy the session data and remove the cookie, but how do you handle this problem. I see three possibilities: 1. Do not remove the session data and cookie Security concerns? 2. Remove the cookie, but not the session data Endless storage of useless data on the server 3. Remove the session data and cookie The problem with item #3, if you destroy the session data after displaying the data on the users screen, and then the user refreshes the page, he sees a blank page.

Clarification On Cookie Access Needed
So I'm incorporating a php document manager (DM) into a contact manager (CM) that I built in php. The DM is a system that I paid for and customized a bit. The DM has its own login screen which, when successful, sets a PHPSESSID cookie. If I look at the properties of the cookie I see this: Content: a session ID Host: my domain Path: /dm/ Expires: at end of session So I'm TRYING to be able to use this cookie in my system. So far I can't refer to it or "SEE" it. I assume access to the cookie is tied to the piece of code that set it in the first place. Also if I link BACK to the DM from my CM I get the login screen again. So to me that says that the DM session ended when I clicked the link into the CM. Here's the questions: - who can SEE the cookie set by the DM? I thought that it was perhaps PATH specific so I moved my code into the /dm/ directory. Doesn't seem to work. - are there properties of a cookie that I can somehow exploit to make these two systems get along?

Session Cookie
What happens when the the previous session cookie is not destroyed (but session_destroy() and session_unset() have been used previously) apart from the fact that the previous session id will be used. Does this mean that the previous session only will continue? Could this cause problems while logging in (assuming only the session id is stored in the cookie and all the session variables are set again on the checklogin page)?

Session / Cookie
I have the following fragment of code that i can not get working as expected. Essentially, its for persistant sessions. A cookie is put on a users pc with some other info and it keeps you logged in. Sessions are killed off if the user doesn't login for a long time. This appears to work fine on my test server, and used to work on my old server, but after a server move, it appears to no longer work. I can't fathom why. on_session_write had a problem where it thought the db object no longer existed, so i recreated an object in that function. However, the data is now not read from the database, so even though i successfully login, when i click through to another page on my site it logs me back out again. Code:

PHP Session Cookie In IE7
I am having a bit of an issue working with a PHP session in IE7. I'm just starting to set this up, so for informational purposes, all I have is a page that starts a session and then displays the SID. Now in Firefox, I start a session and it places a session cookie on my system. If I kept refreshing this page, the cookie still exists and thus the session, so it keeps displaying the same SID. Now if I deleted the cookie, a new session would be created on my next refresh with a new SID and cookie. In IE7, I cannot find the cookie for the session. I checked using Nirsoft Cookie Viewer as well as looking myself in Windows Explorer. There is no cookie. However, when I refresh the page, the SID stays the same, as if the session is active and the cookie does exist. Perhaps it does and I just don't know where. Any ideas? Also, in regards to sessions, I was under the impression they had a default lifetime of 3 hours. However, I have left my computer for far longer than this, and when I return, it is still active. Does it only end when the browser is closed?

Session Without Cookie
I'm trying to enable the session management without using cookie. In my php.ini I have: session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 0 session.use_trans_sid = 1 session.name = PHPSESSID I call session_start() on each page. I turn off the cookies in my browser and browse my site. The session doesn't work and no "PHPSESSID" appears in any URL.

SESSION Instead Of The COOKIE
Working on a shopping cart for a buddy, and currently, I assign a unique# and store it in a cookie, if a cookie doesn't exist already. Then that # is used to keep track of the user's shopping cart items. Basic stuff. Currently I have it set so when you click on 'add to cart' it pulls your # from your cookie, but I was wondering if it's better/faster/more proper to get/set the cookie #, then store it in a SESSION var. and use/pull from the SESSION instead of the COOKIE all the time (after that initial visit)?

Session Vs. Cookie
session id is a cookie. I am using session to save the information about a shopping cart. and in every page, i will display how many items in the shopping cart. I want this value to be updated as I add or remove items from the cart. I can use session value or cookie here. session_start() will expire the page? so if i use the session, next time i visit this page, due to the page expired, it will display the new value. But if i use cookie, if i don't expire that page using header, then i may get old cookie value displayed when next time i revisit this page.

Php Session Without Cookie Useage
I need some clarification on how the php session work in relation to cookies. we have a web site where users need to log in. a few of our users were having troubles with their browser clients having different levels of cookie security settings. i assumed a solution would be to have the php site use the session only, and set session.use_cookies to 0 in the php.ini file. after doing this, the session no longer persits after moving from page to page. does the session need to have cookies enabled to work? if so, what is the point of this setting? if not, what settings do i need to set to make the session work sever side only?

Object As Session/cookie
how is your experience with using objects as sessions??? This is for a project at uni, so I need some input on the good/bad things with doing it this way. Personally I think it is nice working with a object, quicker coding, and much cleaner than writing normal sessions w/variables. Also: I'm making a different asignment where a glossary db can be signed by students for later retrival when they look up a word. (each student can see what he/she wrote earlier on on that word). I'm not going into that, but I'm going to send back to the Flash movie an indication if the student currently logged in has signed a term in the glossary, so: instead of doing a query each time the user retrieves something from the server, would a quick search in MySQL when the user logges in, and then store the ID of all the terms he/she has commented in a object session/cookie. Then use the information in the session/cookie to send back indication to the Flash movie be better?

Session Id Is Determined By The Cookie?
When we open a new web browser, all the windows that are open from that web browser belong to the same session. However, if we open a new web browser, then it will be different sessions. Is that the correct concept? Another question is if session id is generated by the web server? Session ID is determined by the cookies? Otherwise, how can the web server know this is new session, or old session?

Session Cookie Problem
I have sessions finally working, except for one glitch. after a session is started, the session variables are set to values from a form, then on a final page, inserted into a mySQL table. THen the session variables are unset, and the session is destroyed. this all seems to work, EXCEPT if you try to go through the submittal process again, it inserts all NULL values into the table, even though if you try to output the session values before inserting them, it seems to do that. if you close all the browser windows, and then go back to the page, it works just fine again. obviously, it can't work like that. here is the code on the page that gathers the info from the form (note, there are two forms, and the page sends data to itsself at least once): if(!isset($PHPSESSID)) { session_start(); session_register("SESSION"); } else { session_id($PHPSESSID); session_start(); } and this is the code at the end of the page that inserts the data into a table, and destroys the session and session variables:(the top of the page checks for a session and loads the registered variable in the same way shown above) session_unregister("SESSION"); session_destroy($PHPSESSID); again, the first time through, it works perfectly, and it seems to destroy the session info correctly. however, if you try again, everythign works fine until you insert the data, and at that point it inserts all NULL values into the table. in order to get it to work again, you have to close all the browser windows and then start again. it's apparently a session cookie problem, but i'm not sure where the problem is (and yes the session ID is propegated).

Session Cookie NOT Required
I am finding that PHP automatically sends out a session cookie, even when I dont want it to. I have a hitcounter that is a single file. When called, it automatically sends a session cookie which is blocked by IE6 as a 3rd party cookie. As it is a single file call, there is no session, I really would rather not be sending a cookie. Is there any way to stop this? I have also put up a /wc3 folder with a p3p policy in it - but to no avail. 3rd party cookie is still blocked.

Session Cookie Persisting
I'm trying to recreate my RFDMaker in PHP. I've decided to do it in a series of steps, using sessions. With cookies turned off it works fine (I've only done the first three steps). The session ID is passed in the url so the user can go forwards and backwards. However, with cookies on, the session persists even if I close the browser. I thought that, unless specified otherwise, cookies only persisted while the browser was open. Am I missing something or is it my machine/setup? Could someone test it for me?

Cookie/Session Security
I'm currently working on a site that uses SSL on another server. As a result i'm unable to transfer the session over in a normal way. Having read a bit on this subject, it seems i'll store the session's id into a database, along with the username. After the user logs in, this sid is stored, and then a cookie will be set(with the encrypted sid in the cookie and on the database). Now when the user goes to the main site, it will check that they have the cookie, and then print a welcome message as well as some other custom info. All in all, how secure of a method is this? If you set a cookie with an encrypted value to expire after a given time, I suspect it would be unlikely (albeit possible) someone could generate a random value and try to log in with it (maybe have a script run all day to attempt this).

Session And Cookie Logic
Would someone be kind enough to validate the logic in this code. $sesscookie = $_COOKIE['name']; if ($sesscookie == "") { if (!session_id()) { session_start(); $sess_id = session_id(); setcookie('name', $sess_id); } $sess_id = session_id(); } else { $sesscookie = session_id(); } What I'm trying to do is ensure that I have a single session id stored somewhere - a cookie if possible, and in a database record. Assuming it is stored in a cookie, I want the cookie value NO MATTER if the actual session id is changed. If the cookie is NOT set (some browser settings disallow this) then I'll retrieve the original value of the session_id from the database. That code is not displayed here.

If Cookie Is Disabled Then Session Will Work Or Not?????
today i read php5 and mysql book and i came to know that if cookie is enabled on client machine then php will use cookies to handle sessions else if cookie is disabled on client machine check is made to ensure that if php5 is configured with --enable-trans-sid and --enable-track-vars option. If yes then php will pass session id using post method automatically and we do not need to worry about it. we just have to use sesssion functions regularly. If No then we can pass session id using SID constant like below <a href="index.php?<? echo(SID); ?>" >click here</a> i checked on my computer and i found that in my computer the php5 is not configured with above options because the php is not pssing session-id automatically and when i try to print constant variable SID it shows me the session id. now i don't know how to configure php with --enable-trans-sid and --enable--track-vars option.pls help me that how to configure it. i have seen the file php.ini in windows directory but it doed not contain above two options.

A Php Session And Cookie Management Question
b4, i only use session. i dunno whether it is good or not, i do not use the session control organization provided by PHP but developed an individule session database table because i have multiple variables for different kinds of users, and i wrote a specified class to handle the session case which worked pretty fine so far. However, i have to add cookie into the system, which i did not touch for several yrs. I expect the net friends here could help me to analysis my problem, introduce me a bit of cookie and especially teach me whether it is necessary to check cookie in every page or only in login page (since in the login page i have a check box to choose whether the user wants to use cookie for 3 days, something like that), and how to improve the session/cookie organization on the base of my system.
