Session help

[PakiGangsta]

I am wondering on how to make it show like random letters and random numbers to show battle session

[Orio]

What do you mean? Generate a random string of letters and numbers? And how's that connected with sessions?

[tomfmason]

you can use a function like this

[code=php:0]
<?php
session_start();

function random_session() {
 $salt = "abchefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
 srand((double)microtime()*1000000);  
     $i = 0;
     while ($i <= 7) {
           $num = rand() % 33;
           $tmp = substr($salt, $num, 1);
           $sess = $sess . $tmp;
           $i++;
     }
     return $sess;
}

$_SESSION['random'] = random_session();

?>
[/code]

there but can anyone help me with this checking if the same session was the last session f5 stuff

[tomfmason]

You need to explain your questions better. I have no idea what that meant

[PakiGangsta]

like this
ok if my bid is 123 and i refresh it will be 123 but i cant seem to figure it out

[tomfmason]

if you use that function that I posted it should not be returning the same session at all

[PakiGangsta]

but this is what i used $sessionid=md5(uniqid(rand(1000000,9999999), true));

[PakiGangsta]

Ok i used your method and even if you refresh it stays the same.
like this http://www.pkrpg.info/battle.php?pid=1&session=pv6t56x5&old= after 10 refreshs

[tomfmason]

no it shouldn't check this one out refresh it as many times as you want [url=http://www.owpt.biz/test/tes.php]http://www.owpt.biz/test/tes.php[/url]

[tomfmason]

you are passing the session through the url. That is why it is not changeing

[tomfmason]

here is the code that i used for that url that I posted

[code=php:0]
<?php
session_start();

function random_session() {
  $salt = "abchefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
  srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
      $i = 0;
      while ($i <= 10) {
            $num = rand() % 33;
            $tmp = substr($salt, $num, 1);
            $pass = $pass . $tmp;
            $i++;
      }
      return $pass;
}

$_SESSION['random'] = random_session();

echo 'The random session is <b>' .$_SESSION['random'] . '</b> and this test worked';

?>[/code]
