[PHP] Question about sessions: how to force expiry
Hi, I am using a session variable to create an area where customers can access certain pages via login/password. If they successfully login, I create a session variable and initialize it with their logon username. I also have a logout button which unregisters the session variables and issues a session_unset() and session_destroy(). Then is takes them back to the login page. Now all my pages in this area first check if the session variable is set and if not, displays a message that the user must first login. I noticed that after logging out and clicking click on the Back button in my browser, it takes me back to the previous page which is does NOT display the warning that the user must login. However, when I click on the Refresh, it does. Is this some sort of caching problem? I note that other sites with similar setups do not have this problem. When I click on the Back button, I saw an expiry message. How can I emulate this please?

[PHP] Question about sessions
Hi, I am creating a session for user autentication. As I read from the help there are two ways for passing session IDs -Cookies -URL parameter. By default its passing it through cookies. I don't want to use any cookies in my program. Can anyone tell me how to go for the other way? i.e. through URL parameter?? Thanks, Varsha __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Look in php.ini and set session.use_cookies to 0. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* sticktion */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Question about sessions
Chris,
I have found that when you get the users to exit propperly they will go by them
selves ... also have a look @ the garbage collection in your php.ini file

Re: [PHP] Question about sessions
There's a session deletion script based on the last time a session file was written to. You can set the duration a session is allowed to stay on the file system for. http://database.sf.net/ - Down the bottom.

[PHP] Question about Sessions
Hello everyone-- I've got a general question about cookies and sessions. I was wondering if this is how php handles sessions because this is what I want. Is it possible to set up php so that the session id is the only thing that is set in the cookie and then all the session data is either pushed into a file or a database? thanks, jay -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Question about Sessions
okay if i read the manual correctly (too bad i couldn't find that page or i wouldn't have had to ask this question :) ) all it stores in cookies is the session id, which is exactly what i wanted to hear! Because i have a flash navigation clip and i don't want to have to load the vars in the flash just to pass the session id.. but i will if i have too.. thanks, jay - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP users [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 7:36 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Question about Sessions Hi Jay!
