Re: [PHP] Session - to restrict same user from two logins
an easier way of doing this is to have a database of users with their password in the table and when they log on simply mark them logged using sum boolean variable. this will, cut down time. good luck!. and remeber Have a nice day :) And when would you uncheck the boolean value? In theory, when the session expires, but there's no event being triggered. Only solution would be to check for active sessions periodically, or something like this... Ideal solution would be for php to do it by itself when the session expires.. -- 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]
[PHP] Session - to restrict same user from two logins
Hello: Session: I am using sessions for user authentication in one of our sites. Are there any ways to restrict the same user from logging in from two different machines. That is, once if the user is logged in, and if somebody tries to log-in using the same userid and password it should be able it display a message 'already logged in from other another computer'. I have seen a similar sample in venturewire.com. Please help me to find out a solution for this.

Re: [PHP] Session - to restrict same user from two logins
Hello Sheni when a user logs into a site, the information that the php server gets is about the machine and not about a particular person, so you have to associate information with that particular person, what i mean is give your users passwords and maintain a database of those logged in using their respective passwords, and whenever a person logs in, run a check from the database to see if he is there or. an easier way of doing this is to have a database of users with their password in the table and when they log on simply mark them logged using sum boolean variable. this will, cut down time. good luck!. and remeber Have a nice day :) On Thu, 26 Jul 2001, Sheni R.
