MemphiS Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ive written some code up using session to hold the values. 3 users are given random values. Problem with this is if the user logs out or leaves my site the sessions are destroyed... and so the values are lost. Is there another way of holding values and keeping them alive untill they are no longer needed. I was thinking sql table but thought i would ask this forum first for any other ways Thanks for your input Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54389-alternatives-to-sessions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocobueno1388 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think a database is going to be your only choice in this situation. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54389-alternatives-to-sessions/#findComment-268955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
