Hello,
I want to use session variables to check the user is coming from the main URL. Even if the user gives the subsequent htm/php page, the browser should redirect to the initial page (main URL).
I am starting the session with session_start();
please tell me how to register the session_register($id) and keep a track of this till the user exit from the application.
Is it advisable to store this data in the database?
Thanks in advance

You don't need session_register. You just need to set a session variable.
Try putting something like this on every page:
Then you can always access $_SERVER['entryURL'] to know the first page they saw this session.

Try putting something like this on every page:
Code: Select all
<?php
session_start(); // line not needed if session_auto_start = 1 in php.ini
if (!isset($_SESSION['entryURL'])) {
$_SESSION['entryURL'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
