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.
