Working with with pre-made CMS

[thewhat]

Hi, so I'm working with a CMS called PHPFusion. Now it's great but I'm having trouble understanding how I can link a users session to a page I customly make. I've gone to their forums but tbh, the community there isn't much help. And it's a general question really so I don't see why I shouldn't bring it here. Is my question clear enough?

 

I need a user to be able to regularly keep track of information they pull/insert into the database but I'm unsure of how to achieve this with a pre made system. Anyone? ???

I'm thinking I may need to use a session_register function. However, how can I set the variable in this to be a mysql_query?

Sessions are notoriously retarded every now and tehn... whats wrong with setting a 5min cookie, or the likes eh?

I tried doing this:

 

<?php

session_start()

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM example") session_register("result");

 

?>

 

but that won't work.

Like I said, Why not simple set a cookie that expires when the session is over..

 

<?php
setcookie('cookie_name', $cookie_data, time(), '/'.'/');
?>

Don't mix session_start() with session_register.

 

Look at how they do it with their other pages and copy the code.
