Adam Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 You wouldn't store the user's "postings" within the session, only the user's actual data like their username.

ManiacDan Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The "session" is a small array that stores variables relevant to the user's current session (the time they've spent browsing your site in the last hour or so). Sometimes the session data can be stored in the database if you have a good reason for it, but otherwise just leave session handling alone. Now, once you have a session of some sort, you will then have a login system which uses that session. The current user's ID and/or username would then be a part of the session. When you perform database queries, make sure to always include the user's ID (and make sure your tables are designed so they all link to a specific user where appropriate). In this way, you can limit all queries to only affecting the items for the currently logged in user. -Dan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246538-session-tutorials-with-mysql-database/#findComment-1268923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well, make a page that selects the postings linked to the currently logged in user. Then make a page that can edit a single posting. On the portion of the code that saves the edits to a posting, make sure the posting being edited belongs to the currently logged in user. -Dan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246538-session-tutorials-with-mysql-database/#findComment-1269611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
