matthewhaworth Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ok, I have to admit. I'm new to PHP. Recently, I've been developing a user login system and have looked at many tutorials. In these tutorials I have noticed that they save the sessions variables, and I don't know why. The idea of saving the sessions variables completely goes against the definition of the word session. It becomes more than a session. If you want to save the user details for the next time they visit the website then would you just not use a cookie? Hey, I'm new to this community, I hope to get a lot from it as well as put a lot back in Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65370-why-save-sessions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hey, I'm new to this community, I hope to get a lot from it as well as put a lot back in Wecome. Where are they saving said sessions? I'm with you, if you want persistence, you'd normally save them in a cookie. Then again.. you wouldn't really want to save a users complete site customizatiosn within a cookie.
