PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It depends on the session.cookie_lifetime setting (assuming that you are passing the session id using a cookie) or if you are passing the session id on the end of the URL and you are using a URL that contains the session id when you revisit the second page after opening your browser.

ManiacDan Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Assuming you haven't overridden any settings, sessions are stored in a temporary file on your server's file system. The session file is named after the user's session ID, which is stored either (a) in the user's PHPSESSID cookie, or (b) in the URL. When the user visits the site, his cookie/URL are analyzed and the proper file is loaded into memory as $_SESSION. Check the URL you're using. If there's a 32-character hexadecimal code there that you don't recognize, it's your session ID, and anyone who uses that URL will get the same session as you. This is why URL-based sessions are frowned upon and rarely used. If there's no session ID in the URL, then you have a cookie called PHPSESSID on your browser. It SHOULD be deleted once all your browser windows are closed, but it won't necessarily. You'll have to delete the cookie by hand to clear your session. -Dan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/218244-my-computer-has-a-mind-of-its-own/#findComment-1132448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 If you're not deleting the cookie or the URL parameter, the session won't go away.

Rifts Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 well i fixed it and i dont understand why this worked... instead of setting the session like this: $_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['email']; I did $email = $_POST['email']; $_SESSION['user'] = $email and now everything works fine... weird huh?

ManiacDan Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 That has no real effect...and you still haven't said whether or not you're deleting the cookies or URL params, but it's good that you think it's working now.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm thinking that enough time has gone by that a session id cookie that was set with some + life time value has now expired or that the session data file on the server was deleted by garbage collection.

ManiacDan Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Right, so now it's the next day and the OS has deleted your data from yesterday. Try all your tests again. Code isn't magic, problems that go away on their own generally come back on their own. -Dan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/218244-my-computer-has-a-mind-of-its-own/#findComment-1132709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
