Looking for user auth. / sessions literature

Post by URWhatUXpress »

I would like to get a better understanding of user logins and sessions development before I start to code an application.

Most of the tutorials I have found have been very much under par for the understanding I would like. I was wondering if anyone has seen or read any articles online they have found to be done well.

Thanks for the help.

start witht he stickies here... then look for any of the sessions related threads here... or you can wait for neilsene, mcgruff, or patrickg to see and respond to this. all three seem to me to be adept at sessions

I actually saw Jason's sticky rigth after posting (which should teach me to search a bit more). That was pretty good, I guess I would like to hear more about security issues, and would to deal with MySQL password handling while keeping Jason's material in mind.

Again, no one has to explain this (I would assume that's quite a bit of time. All I need is a link or two that you guys/gals have found useful.

Thanks.

go to the search and search for the user neilsene


there's been a lot of disscuaaion on that since i got here, and i've noticed him in all of them, on one of them he mentions someone that's better than he is with security., as well as explaining why it's logical that he'd be good with it

When you can't find something here and the php manual is driving you crazy you can always try google

I just did a quick search for "php sessions" and came up with 15000 links.
The ones on the first page are most tutorials which would seem like the place to start.
