krike Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have 2 questions the main question I have is the following, I made a tutorial system and the user system is based on sessions. I'm saving 4 things into sessions; id, unique_id, username & password now I would like to use cookies so you don't have to login each time you visit the site, what information should I store into cookies ? the id or username and pass? which one is saver? my second questions: which method is best for date when storing it into a database? mysql timestamp or the php date() function?

ram4nd Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think it's not safe to keep username and password in session at the same time Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/168791-cookies-and-date/#findComment-892305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krike Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 someone allready helped me thanks anyway if anyone is interested: - for the cookies I store a md5 hash of the password and a unique_id (6 digits) generated when a user register. So should be good. - and for the date I use the time function $t=time()+60*60*24*7; //7 days = 1 week echo $t . "<br />"; //output example 1249579107 echo date("Y-m-d",$t); //output example 2009-08-05 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/168791-cookies-and-date/#findComment-892366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
