Session problems

[vegnadragon]

I often used cookies in the past because they where easier to use but i think i need to use session for my new page. What i do know is that session is store in the server. So my problem is, in my site i want to store a single number value, a unique name or id to identify and a expire time so how do i create those and how do i get those values in a session. i hope the message is clear. Thanks for your time.

You set a session like this

$_SESSION['session_name'] = value;

 

you also need to remember to call session_start() at the top of each page you want the session to carry on to.

I know how to do that, my session contain info for userA, i don't want userB to get userA. I want to create a unique session only for userA.

Do you have an auto-incremented field in your users table? If you do I'm assuming it is their user ID. Just register that ID as the session and it's unique. If you don't want to do that, maybe you can use the function uniqid()

Session is unique per user!

this code:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['x'] = /* any data you want to store */;
?>

will create a session file for each user-request (one per user).

the user A will not see the value x of user B!
