Link with Session ID in

[slj90]

HI all,

 

I am trying to create a link that gets the ID from the session and uses it in the link

 

An example:

 

http://localhost/burned/loggedon.php?ID=41

 

How do I create the link to include the ID number of the user that's currently logged in?

 

$ID = $_SESSION["authenticatedUser"] ;
   
   
   // (2)gather details of CustomerID sent 
$ID = $_GET['ID'] ;

 

 

Thanks

http://localhost/burned/loggedon.php?ID=<?php echo $_SESSION['authID']?>

You can have php automatically append the actual session id to a url but it poses a significant security risk as may your method. Why would you need to pass a value held within the session array through a url? It will be available throughout a users session from within the session array.

Thank you for your responses, I have no got it working!

Did you read my reply about the security concerns? It also seems a useless piece of functionality.

I couldn't agree more. Why on earth would you need to pass that through the URL?
