Here is the very basic concept...</p> <p>Remove all sessions older than a 'time to live' (I've set this to 60 minutes for some projects, and 10 minutes on others).<br /> Check for the existance of a session. If one exists, the ID will be passed via cookie or GET/POST method.<br /> If one exists, update the last_activity field (timestamp).<br /> If one does not exist, create a unique id (timestamp with MD5 is nice for this) and insert this into the DB.</p> Fri, 05 Apr 2002 06:50:42 +0000 Mark Hensler comment 1106157 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-side-scripting/code-wanted#comment-1106149 <p>yes, this is a server side question. moving her along to the right forum, please stand by.</p> Fri, 05 Apr 2002 06:26:35 +0000 Suzanne comment 1106149 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-side-scripting/code-wanted#comment-1106144 <p>I think you'd have to use cookies and a database, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure its server side</p> Fri, 05 Apr 2002 05:54:00 +0000 Busy comment 1106144 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
