Hijacking would be starting a completely different discussion in the same
thread. This wasn't a discussion-starter, rather a warning ;)

I use sessions to store login information. However, a particular user of a
site can only access it at the library which has cookies shut off. So, I'm
thinking of creating an entry in the database with a unique identifier and
expiration time. I would then pass that identifier to each page. Does that
sound like a good alternative to sessions or is there something else I could do?
Thanks!

But please, PLEASE, read carefully: *If a user were to copy and paste the
URL of the page they were on, and someone else were to click on it, they
would both be using the same session.*

Thanks for pointing me to that. Looks to be much simpler that they way I was
going to do it.
Thanks!

You should at least check the IP of the client additionally to have some prove
it is the same client you gave the session-ID.
And it is better to put the session-ID in a POST-field than in GET. So it
es very unlikely someone passes a session ID around accidently.

Putting your session-ID into post will require you to POST every page,
rather then GET it. And every anchor user clicks will have to POST, not GET.

Just be cautious if going to check IP, because:
1) The two users could be in the same house or cybercafé, which gives them
the same IP.
2) The user could be traveling with a wireless card, his IP would change
quite a lot in this scenario.

Or, it could be an AOL user and requess could be routed through
who knows how many different requestors.

Hello,
i recently migrated my webserver from Debian Lenny (with PHP 4.x) to Wheezy
with PHP 5.4.
Some applications like mediawiki could be updated and they are running fine.
But there are some old and beloved applications that run any more.
A good example is PHPmyedit 5.7.1 http://www.phpmyedit.org/
The first page with data is displayed but all links and buttons are dead!
There is no error produced by PHP and i have no idea why it is not working?
I'm have only basic knowledge with PHP and would be glad to have some tips how
to debug things without error.
My hope is that this migration problem is known and can be fixed simply?
Thanks
Karsten

You should probably turn your error reporting threshold way up, so you
can see what's happening.
Ultimately, you'll probably need to contact the authors of the
individual packages to get them to upgrade, so they can see the problems
and fix them.
