[PHP] How long can the session ID be?

Hi - How long can the session ID be? Infinitely long? It seems to always be 32 characters on my system, but it looks like it's built from the PID and the time and some other stuff which can change... so I'm assuming it can too... Can I safely assume it won't get larger than say 64 chara

You could also run separate instances of the httpd binary with different configs telling them what ip/port to bind/listen to...then run the server as that user... not very efficient for a lot of users, but it would work for a small set. On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Rich Buggy wrote: > > > if I define 'u

addslashes() would work... or use an ereg_replace to do it. Provided that you only use single quotes in your SQL (which is a good idea anyway since other db's only allow you to use single quotes) then you only have a problem with single quotes and not double quotes. On Thu, 3 Jan 2002, Daniel Ha

[PHP] RE: User-friendly URI's

I don't know... not that I know of, but maybe. The one time I did it I wasn't really interested in the apache logs (the logging all happened in the db). I think your best bet is to use news.php, or configure apache to force "news" to be interpreted by PHP, or use mod_rewrite to rewrite the urls

There's a couple of ways you could do this... - search zend.com and other PHP sites for something similar :) - pick up Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties" which talks about building trees and graphs in SQL (which is what this is)... this can get kind of complicated though. or... - modify your tabl
