On my script that I'm working, I use mt_rand to generate a session id, as well as the user's id as basis for a valid session (I don't use mt_rand for the user id). When the user logs in, a random number and the user's id is saved to a table and is sent as a cookie. So what I'd like to know is: Would recording the user's IP address benefit security?

 

I think that it would in that is could help prevent Man in the Middle attacks, but I'd like your input.
