Manage Session IDs
Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:47 am
I am working on the authentication piece of my web application. After successful authentication, the application will assign users a session ID in the form of a cookie. This session ID should tie to one specific user in the system, and when a user goes from one PHP page onto another, the different PHP pages must be able to verify that the session ID that the user is sending is authentic.
This seems like a fairly common requirement. How is this done? I do not know where to begin. Is there a guide online? Please assist!
