Programming Has Problems.... Any sufficiently dumbed down, easy to implement, solution creates an inversely equal level of problems in actual use. In this case, the PHP "session" development was initially implemented (IIRC) as a way for coding newbies to slap together very simple way of maintaining state on an inherently stateless medium (http), with expected levels of poor performance, scalability, and security. Unfortunately, the way PHP matured (if that's the right word to use) was that a great many folks saw the simple shortcuts and used them, rather than writing better solutions. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
