Are you on a shared server? Then your session data is open to the other 199 clients on that server... If you are *NOT* on a shared server, and if you are 100% confident that nobody will ever compromise your server, and make your $_SESSION data a priority to hack, well then, you're "safe"... How much effort does it take to scrub your $_SESSION data, though? What are you storing in there? How "Bad" will it be if a Bad Guy breaks in and snarfs it? Only you can answer these for a dedicated server/application. Not scrubbing $_SESSION on a shared server... That's just wrong, IMHO. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
